The former Columbia Innovation Enterprise (CIE-Finance) is now part of Columbia Technology Ventures.

Columbia Technology Ventures  is the technology transfer office of Columbia University. Through technology transfer, Columbia inventions and innovations may be incorporated into products and services that directly benefit people across the globe.  The University itself also benefits, as technology transfer brings in licensing revenues, which are reinvested to enhance the quality and breadth of education and research at Columbia.  On average, our office triages more than 300 new invention disclosures, executes 40-50 license agreements, and helps launch 12-15 start-up companies each year.  We also manage more than 60 industry-sponsored research agreements and more than 1,300 material transfer and confidentiality agreements annually.

For information on any of our services or to report a potential invention, please send an email to techventures@columbia.edu, or call our office at (212) 854-8444.  Additional information on Columbia Technology Ventures is available
