The technology-based regional economic development program at Sandia National Laboratories
In November of 1989, technology transfer became a mission for Sandia National Laboratories, (SNL), with the passage of the National Competitiveness Technology Transfer Act. In order to address the specialized technology transfer needs of small businesses, SNL created and implemented the Technology-Based Regional Economic Development (TRED) program. The TRED model has two major components -- technology assistance (or teaming), and widget transfer.'' In the technology assistance component, SNL's technology resources (expertise, services, and equipment) are made available to companies developing commercial products. In the widget transfer'' component, SNL's intellectual property (patents, copyrights) is placed with private sector firms through various partnership intermediaries
