Close collaborators: Colleges & technology companies

University research and development centers are hooking up with technology firms and startup companies in relationships that benefit both academia and business. In 2010, 657 new commercial products were created through technology transfer, according to the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM). For example, research at Oregon State University, OSU, has created products such as Smart Desktop, personal information management software; Strands, a social recommendation engine; and Incisive, a spreadsheet analysis engine.
