2021 Better World Project Award Finalists

AUTM's Better World Project highlights the global impact of research commercialization and the vital role that technology transfer plays in that process. The annual Better World Project Award honors the exemplary work of one technology transfer office from the stories submitted the previous year.

More than 50 stories were submitted to the Better World Project last year. The Better World Project Committee narrowed them down to three very worthy finalists.

Below, you'll find an interview of each of the finalists, by AUTM Immediate Past Chair Rich Chylla, to help you get to know each innovation and technology transfer office. There's also a link to their Better World Project story. Once you watch the interviews and read the stories, head on over to vote for your favorite. If you want to be in the running for the Better World Project Award next year, please visit www.autm.net/BWP to submit your technology transfer office's success story!
