OTTN, or the Ottawa Technology Transfer Network is an integral part of the Government of Ontario's innovation strategy and framework. OTTN is a provincially funded network of institutions in Eastern Ontario that focus on research, collaboration, engagement with industry, entrepreneurship and technology transfer.
The activities of OTTN are essentially education, engagement and funding.
Through education OTTN helps researchers find the commercial potential in their research discoveries as well as educating business as to the world class research expertise that exists in Eastern Ontario. At the same time we are building the next generation of entrepreneurs through our student venture activities.
Through engagement activities OTTN staff are working closely to bring companies onto our campuses and to create viable and meaningful working relationships between research or technology partnership.
Finally through funding, dollars provided through the Eastern Ontario Proof of Principle Fund, the gap between traditional research funding and funding for the commercialization of research is being greatly reduced.
