Networking Events
Get involved with the federal labs and our T2 partners
Federal tech transfer collaborations often involve a federal lab and a private partner organization with a shared interest in a particular technology. To help both sides find each other, the FLC staff travels around the country showcasing the cutting-edge technologies, state-of-the-art facilities, and expertise that federal labs offer and how the business community can tap into those assets.
Our next stop might be near you! We invite you to attend our presentations, stop by the FLC booth on the exhibit floor, connect with us on an event app, or simply flag us down in the hallway.
