The transfer of technology to private industry, academic institutions, and other federal laboratories is one of the missions of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). As a technology resource, PPPL seeks to provide its unique expertise to solutions of industrial problems. PPPL has also endeavored to enhance its contact with area small businesses and to provide technological help and guidance where possible. In addition, PPPL participates in the U.S. Department of Energy Technology Partnership Ombuds Initiative.

The PPPL Office of Technology Transfer is the initial point of contact for public and private organizations wishing access to PPPL's scientific and technological resources. The Office of Technology Transfer is prepared to assist industry, universities, state and local government, and others in the transfer process. Read more.
