From the Center for Technology and Commercialization Newsletter: Excerpts from the accreditation report stated: “Puerto Rico’s CTDC focuses on technology development and commercialization and coordinates the technology program strategy across the 7 regional centers. The SBDC has also incorporated a series of models and methodologies to evaluate the technology entrepreneur to determine stage of development and the identification of the appropriate resources to best respond to the clients needs and serve the client in the most efficient and effective way.” PR-SBDC’s technology competencies are: (1) Commercialization Model (2) Global Business Branding (3) Performance Analysis (4) Financing (Seed, Bridge, Equity, Angel, Venture capital, Export, and International) (5) Intellectual Property and Licensing (6) Technology Research, Resources and Networking (7) Technology Transfer and (8) Technology Portal for Business Tools. What's more, “the technology services provided by the PR-SBDC are effective and groundbreaking for the island. The perceived value by the clients and stakeholders clearly greatly exceed the investment made in the PR-SBDC technology program, and provide unique research and development components not found elsewhere on the island.” For more information on PR-SBDC visit our "Resource" webpage and follow the PR-SBDC link
