Who We Are

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer (FLC) began in 1974 but was officially created by the Congress to perform certain functions and is codified in 15 USC 3710(e). The FLC is the nationwide network of over 300 federal laboratories and research centers dedicated to accelerating federal technologies into the marketplace. The Technology Transfer mission of the federal laboratories and the office that deliver on this mission are also required by the Congress under 15 USC 3710(b). Through taxpayer-funded research and development (R&D), the FLC fosters scientific breakthroughs that drive economic growth by creating new industries, businesses, and jobs through technology transfer (T2).

Mission: To support federal laboratories in maximizing the impact of technology transfer for the benefit of the United States.

Vision: To be the go-to resource and voice for federal technology transfer.
