Getting Out of the Gate - Successful Companies Built on DoD Tech Transfers from CommNexus San Diego on Vimeo.
Foundational technology has been developed by the DoD and technology transfers from the DoD result in the building of a company that is the embodiment of the successful tech transfer. San Diego’s fortunate to have three companies that will present how and why they moved technology out of the DoD and built successful businesses. We’ll start with examining ViaSat, an early success story, with heritage dating back to Linkabit next we will explore Peregrine Semiconductors journey in building a company with technology originating at the Navy lab and lastly we will reveal a recent example of successful tech transfer with MEMS company, Lumedyne Technology.
They did it so can you, come learn how.
