Fun & Exciting Technology Transfer For Societal Benefit

Being interested in Technology (all areas) and having an interest in Technology Transfer can and in many cases go hand in hand. Researching the various university globally is both educational, fun and exciting. In that I have found Israel to be an interesting country and have dealt with individuals there I decided to do some reseach anent Technology Transfer Services situated there. In this search I came across Yissum. Yissum is a technology transfer (Technology Transfer and IP) company that is part and parcel of the Hebrew University (HU) of Jerusalem and one of their mottos is Where Science Means Business. And they are serious about this, so much so that within the past 40 year timeframe they have been able to get granted over no less than 400 technology licenses. The revenues generated by their work in the area of commercialization of a vast array of highly successful products generates over 1 billion dollars on a global basis in sales annually. The footprint of coverage in the areas of technology they work with the HU staff and researchers is quite large, covering agriculture (includes nutrition), the environment (technologies having relation to water and other environmental aspects), the field of computer science, nanotech, medicine (including pharmaceuticals) and much more. The vision is to help society by facilitating the creation commercially of products for both its use and benefit. Please visit their Technology Transfer Office to learn more.
