TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS

Check out our portfolio

A Technology Engine

Virginia Tech’s $500M+- per-year research portfolio spans engineering and life sciences, as well as social sciences, policy, and creative arts.  Through our use-inspired, diversified research capabilities, we support all major federal agencies. Nearly 15 percent of expenditures derive from corporate sponsors, providing faculty and partners opportunities to collaborate on cutting-edge, applied research and development.

The result: every day, faculty, students, and staff generate inventions with important market and societal applications.  VTIP is here to support the transition of discoveries by shepherding inventions through patenting and license negotiation. We bring extensive experience in intellectual property management and transactions and offer business-friendly terms to streamline the process and create win-wins. 

VTIP GOVERNANCE

VTIP is governed by a Board of Directors as required in our bylaws. The Board of Directors includes ex-officio members, as well as elected members from Virginia Tech and externally.  We are grateful to the Board for their leadership and service to VTIP.
