Wyoming Technology Transfer


The Wyoming Research Products Center (RPC) was formally launched on October 1, 1999 as a collaborative effort between the University of Wyoming Research Office and the Wyoming Business Council. The RPC is the technology transfer office for the University of Wyoming.

The RPC also has an outreach mission to assist any Wyoming entrepreneur or inventor across the state.  We will work closely and supportively with Wyoming citizens and companies to help them identify, protect and commercialize their intellectual property.

Our Goals                           

  • Support Wyoming individuals and organizations in technology transfer - the protection, marketing, and ultimate transfer of their intellectual property to industry.
  • Develop a greater outside awareness of the University's research and development programs, along with the opportunities that the state of Wyoming offers to industry.
  • Support the creation of new technology startup ventures within Wyoming.
  • Encourage partnerships between University faculty and Wyoming business.
