NASA wants to share great ideas

NASA is seeking information from potential partners who could provide no-cost brokerage services for intellectual property transactions to help transfer NASA-owned technologies into the marketplace. "Technology transfer always has been an important objective of America's aeronautics and space program," said NASA Chief Technologist Bobby Braun. "We want to accelerate the agency's efforts to get groundbreaking technologies and innovations from development efforts out into commercial markets. We're asking for information from broker services on how they might help us do this, without any cost to the taxpayer." The request for information is posted on the FedBizOps website.
