Abstract
The commercialization of nanotechnology from university spin-off companies is viewed as critical for the sustainable development of tertiary-level technologies. This chapter outlines the roles of venture capitalists, government, academic institutions, and entrepreneurs in providing society with nanotechnology companies that turn science into money. The chapter also explains how the technology is transferred in the marketplace through patents, trade secrets, and copyrights, and allows the academic entrepreneur to understand the role of consumers and markets. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
