UGA Entrepreneurship Students Pitch to NASA

From textiles that help regulate body temperature to batteries that make solar power more reliable, NASA scientists and engineers have produced thousands of technology and software patents.

But how do those innovations make their way into our everyday life?

This fall, University of Georgia students in the UGA Entrepreneurship Program explored NASA’s treasure trove of patents and developed ideas to bring these technologies to market as part of a collaboration with NASA.

“NASA has thousands of patents, but they don’t commercialize things,” said Don Chambers, assistant director of the UGA Entrepreneurship Program. “These students are searching for commercialization possibilities. They’re looking for problems that need solving.”
