The FLC entered into a strategic partnership with UNM Rainforest Innovations (UNMRI) based in Albuquerque, NM, as part of an ongoing campaign to help small to large businesses with innovative technologies succeed through collaborations with federal laboratories. UNMRI supports technology transfer and coordinates economic development activities for the University of New Mexico — efforts that include facilitating connections between technology-focused businesses and multiple federal laboratories that have a presence in New Mexico. Under the agreement, the FLC and UNMRI will jointly encourage partnerships between federal laboratories and industry, especially small businesses, to help move technologies out of the lab and into the marketplace.
