Successful technology transfer requires teamwork between BGN's experienced business team and researchers. BGN works closely with BGU researchers/inventors to identify the right commercial opportunity for each invention and innovation.

The researcher's knowledge, contacts and technological understanding are critical for a successful commercialization process. Furthermore the continuous involvement of the researcher during the technology transfer process and product development by the licensing partner are crucial to the successful development of a product.

BGN's main role in the commercialization process is to assist and guide BGU researchers with:

Ensuring adequate patent protection	Providing business guidance and commercial assessment
Communicating new inventions and innovations	Networking with potential partners
Creating startup companies	Obtaining research and development Funding
Negotiating agreements	Identifying appropriate partners for licensing
