Called C3 Downtown, the new office will focus on programs that move Sandia-developed technologies into the commercial marketplace. The office will have one full-time staff person, a part-time manager, and other staff members holding regular office hours. It will also be a landing place where other Sandians can drop in and work.

Community members will be able to meet with Sandia staff to discuss licensing, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements, the New Mexico Small Business Assistance program, and other technology transfer programs. The office will also host representatives from Sandia’s supplier and community relations organizations and the Labs’ Entrepreneur Exploration program, which links scientists and engineers with business opportunities and resources provided by a variety of partners.
