The Cornell Center for Technology Enterprise and Commercialization (CCTEC), where Innovation means Business, is Cornell University's technology transfer office.
CCTEC manages technologies and plant varieties for Cornell University at the main campus in Ithaca, the Weill Cornell Medical College campus in New York City, and the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva. Their goal is to support Cornell's land-grant mission and to promote public good by connecting Cornell technology to industry and business development efforts.
At CCTEC, one of the primary objectives is to foster the growth of new businesses based on Cornell Technology, by working with inventors, entrepreneurs, and investors to create successful transitions from innovation to new enterprise.
