SUNY Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF)
TAF’s goal is to facilitate the translation of SUNY technology into marketable products and/or services by enhancing strategic academic-industry partnerships and building new entrepreneurial ventures.
Tapping into the entrepreneurial spirit and wide-ranging expertise of SUNY faculty, the TAF set out to identify opportunities where strategic investments can make a significant impact on moving products and services based on SUNY-developed technology to the marketplace.
A significant obstacle to the development and transfer of university technology is the lack of funding for promising discoveries after government-sponsored support ends and before a licensee or venture-capital support is secured. The TAF program bridges that gap for SUNY researchers. They now have the means to gain funding for select technologies to accelerate their development and commercialization.
