Technology transfer: A new program between Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico
Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico's Anderson School of Management are developing a program which enables M.B.A. students to assist in commercializing Sandia developed technologies. Thus far, students have prepared detailed business plans (which include market analyses, design and development sections, and pro forma financials) for a wide range of technologies. Potential applications include waste management, cancer treatment, oil and gas transportation, coating of plastics, manufacturing and assembly, and parts inspections. By having graduate students conduct the research necessary to identify positive net-present-value projects, Sandia is able to interest private sector firms in its technologies.
