About the Office
Technology Transfer and
Economic Development (TTED) is a function of the ORA and serves as the focal point for technology
commercialization, entrepreneurship and economic
development for UMSL. Our mission is to grow Missouri's
economy by advancing technology commercialization, encouraging
entrepreneurship and promoting business opportunities.
We work to identify commercializable technology
resulting from research performed at UMSL; legally protect
intellectual property, seek income for the University and UMSL
inventors, enhance industrial relations and support regional economic
development to benefit the public.
