Technology transfer ensures that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services. During this breakfast meeting, Thomas Cellucci will give us the inside view of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Department's technology transfer programs, and the various investment opportunities for the private sector.

Cellucci, a very accomplished serial entrepreneur, was recently appointed to be the Chief Commercialization Officer for the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate. Thomas Cellucci is responsible for initiatives that identify, evaluate and commercialize technology for the specific goal of rapidly developing and deploying products and services that meet the specific operational requirement of the Department of Homeland Security's Operating Components and its end users. The CCO also develops and drives the implementation of DHS-S&T's outreach with the private sector to establish and foster mutually-beneficial working relationships to facilitate cost-effective and efficient product/service development effort.
