Have you ever wondered how an idea becomes a technology or product that can be deployed by the private sector?
“Technology transitions” is the dynamic process, with numerous and varying handoffs between scientists, innovators, and entrepreneurs, that begins with an idea that ultimately becomes a technology commercialized and deployed by the private sector (think of this as taking a technology from the test tube to a product that can be bought). Every technology follows its own unique path and requires a variety of exchanges and partnerships to advance it along the developmental spectrum. Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) provides support in each step of this process.
The Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) Entrepreneurship Program provides paid opportunities for undergraduate students to explore and contribute to advances at the intersection of business and innovative technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, computing, data science and biofuels. Students undergo intensive training as they participate at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Headquarters, national laboratories, and other OTT-approved facilities.
Why should I apply?
You will participate in and contribute to OTT mission related projects and activities under the guidance of technology transfer specialists and OTT staff.
The program aims to enhance your education and training in technology commercialization-related fields and increasing your future marketability in these disciplines. In addition, you will gain deep insight into the federal government's role in the creation and implementation of policies that will affect energy technology development and commercialization.
