Helping create closer links between industry & university research institutes

Globaltechnoscan is an online technology marketplace at http://www.globaltechnoscan.com Globaltechnoscan helps bring technology resources available all over the world to the benefit of the industry. It is estimated that not much more than 10% of the intellectual property created by universities, research institutions and corporations is effectively utilised. The rest remains as research papers and patents.

Globaltechnoscan is helping these research organisations to better leverage their intellectual property resources by licensing and technology transfer. In the process, GTS also brings the benefits of this research in both large and small laboratories all over the world to the industry - both in the developed as well as the developing world, to small as well as large enterprises. An online marketplace of this nature is a relatively democratic marketplace with power both to the small as well as large enterprise.

In order to further this exchange Globaltechnoscan is offering free listings of technology transfer opportunities to selected universities and major research institutes - the possibility of free listings of technology transfer opportunities. In the recent past, over 20 major universities and national research institutes in the USA, UK, Switzerland, Australia, China and India have agreed to list their technology offerings on the Globaltechnoscan website. Unlike some other sites, currently access to these opportunities is FREE. GTS expects several more such organisations to join the Globaltechnoscan site. Besides these universities Globaltechnoscan has over 1,000 technology requests and offers on its site - from businesses, universities, technology brokers, and research institutes from all over the world.

To assist the entrepreneurs, Globaltechnoscan also has R&D and technology news in virtually every industry, from all over the world.
