A new academic journal was recently launched that focuses on the early stage commercialization of technologies in the healthcare and biotechnology industries. The journal is titled “Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship” and is published by Bentham Science of the Netherlands. Best of all, the first year of the journals’ articles will be made available for free at the publishers website.

According to the journal’s publisher, the publication is directed to “a broad range of topics that underlie the business of biomedical and research, specifically translating basic scientific discoveries into commercial opportunities. This includes understanding of the technology transfer process and entrepreneurship in academia, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries; directed towards economic development, better healthcare, and long-term job creation.

The publication looks promising for those interested in the dynamics of bringing new technologies from acedemia to market.
