The Technology Transfer Office at Eastern Michigan University (EMU-TTO) plays an essential role in fostering innovation and stimulating economic growth within our community. By bridging cutting-edge research with, and providing a highly skilled workforce to industry partners, we enable businesses to leverage groundbreaking technologies and talent that can help drive their success.

EMU TTO is tasked with transferring University-developed technology to the marketplace for societal benefit. This encompasses activities such as invention disclosure records, evaluation, intellectual property protection, and commercialization efforts. The EMU-TTO also serves to facilitate connections between business and industry and EMU researchers and academic units.
