Abstract

This panel focus was to build the connection between innovative solutions and the various industries looking for more efficient methods, products, and processes in Tech Transfer and Commercialization. This panel had interest across the entire conference base, whether they are encountering a challenge, introducing an innovative solution, or are the host that is trying to get from a pure research / Research, Development, Demonstration, Testing, and Evaluation solution to one that is commercially viable and robust enough for long term and/or high risk deployment scenarios and which will support greater chance of success and positive outcomes. Panelists with presentations: Practical, Successful Technology Transfer (Laurie Judd); Technology Needs for Clean-up of Mercury Contamination on the Oak Ridge Reservation (Renee Echols); US DOE Office of Technology Transitions (Kyle Wiley); Technology Transfer in Support of Delivering Clean-up Missions (Kristan Schruder); Mission to Market (J.
