The Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center (MTTC)

The Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center was created in 2004 as a program in the Massachusetts Economic Stimulus Bill. Its goal is to support technology transfer activities from public and private research institutions to companies in Massachusetts. To achieve this goal, the Center works with technology transfer offices at Massachusetts research institutions; faculty, researchers, and students who have commercially promising ideas; and companies across the Commonwealth.

Massachusetts Association of Technology Transfer Offices (MATTO)

MATTO was created to promote efficient and effective transfer of knowledge and technology developed at academic institutions in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to companies that will develop and bring novel products to market for the public good. Membership is open to all not-for-profit research institutions in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Currently, thirty-one institutions belong to MATTO. These institutions employ over 125 professionals in their offices of technology transfer.

MATTO provides:
• A vehicle to address issues affecting the technology transfer profession as a whole in Massachusetts;
• Professional development training for its members;
• Events that showcase early stage technologies developed at academic institutions in Massachusetts.
