Connecting innovation to societal needs

Innovation creates the seeds of change and, if carefully brought to life, brings hope and progress. Innovation has the greatest positive impact on economic growth worldwide. But without supporting entrepreneurial culture, values and systems, even the most brilliant idea may never make it to market. Technology Innovation Group, Inc. (TIG) promotes the diffusion of innovation through commercialization in two key areas:

Public-Private Partnerships for Economic Development

TIG creates public-private partnerships to establish technology-based enterprises that are critical for economic growth. We grow individual companies, create and assist incubators, accelerators and innovation hubs, and stimulate the transfer of technology from research institutions to the marketplace.

We stand behind our advice by being involved in implementation, and we work ourselves out of our projects by building client capabilities.

Translational Research in Healthcare

Commercialization brings the benefits of translational research to the public. Our services enhance the financial and societal return on investment to universities and research institutions through responsible conversion of research into intellectual property and successful licensing agreements. We provide intellectual property assessment and strategy development, regulatory strategy and support, and manufacturing and clinical development services through a team of experts who possess the industry, network, and domain knowledge and the hands-on managerial expertise necessary to advance discoveries forward into commercially profitable diagnostics and therapies.
