NEXT includes the Tech Transfer Office at UNT Health Fort Worth. Tech transfer offices at universities are responsible for helping move new technology and discoveries out of the university to outside organizations that will use the technology to create new products and solutions.

Our tech transfer team helps guide the growth of innovators and their ideas to impactful solutions for a healthier community. NEXT supports this journey by managing the entire lifecycle of an invention, from patent prosecution and marketing to forging commercial partnerships. Through tailored programs, resources, and learning opportunities, we help bring innovations to life.
