University tech transfer offices and military labs sit on a goldmine of uncommercialized innovation, yet they remain widely misunderstood and underutilized by hardware startups. Most founders view tech transfer as a single-shot transaction—acquiring an isolated piece of IP only if they happen to graduate from that specific institution. This session flips the script, mapping out how to proactively approach research hubs and build a comprehensive tech-licensing package. We will demystify the licensing pipeline, explore how to combine multiple technologies to create a moat, and show how to leverage public R&D to drive long-term corporate growth rather than a one-off product launch.
