Matchmaking with Industry ("Seeds to Needs") for TT Offices
We support TT offices that seek to match research output (from universities and
research institutions) to the needs of industry partners. Larta’s "Seeds to Needs"
service seeks to foster collaborative relationships (licensing, acquisition, joint
development & research, alliances and strategic linkages) between industrial partners,
universities and research institutions. More.

Larta Institute, along with Loma Linda University, has recently executed the third
and final year of the Inter-University Technology Bundling Project (IUTBP). The
project is funded by a grant from a National Science Foundation (NSF) program–Partnerships
for Innovation–which promotes innovation by bringing together a variety of collaborators:
colleges and universities, state and local governments, private sector firms, and
nonprofit organizations.

“This Virtual Bundling Agent (VBA) program” was piloted to great success in 2005
and 2006 with the support of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Now entering
a closing phase of its Kauffman pilot funding, in which it will bring commercial
deals to completion and will document its entire model for expansion and further
roll-out, VBA is already enhancing the regional infrastructure for innovation and
is building a model for national impact.

NETWORK T2 is a major consortium of universities and research institutions focused
on the goal of connecting new innovations with the marketplace. NETWORK T2 is one
of the largest groups of its kind ever created, with 19 members. The member institutions
conduct over $2.23 billion each year in R&D, forming one of the world's largest
research networks and one of the nation's leading engines of economic growth.
Under the Larta Institute's management, the institutions in NETWORK T2 will serve
as magnets on their respective campuses for new technologies that have potential
for commercialization. NETWORK T2 will provide the institutions a common platform
and a set of resources to link technologies and business opportunities and to smooth
the process of technology transfer. NETWORK T2 will serve to attract federal and
corporate funds to the participating universities to stimulate commercialization.
