About TechCatalyst

TechCatalyst® targets its innovation services to advance development of new and innovative chemical and allied science products and technologies toward commercialization.

TechCatalyst is a business unit of the American Chemical Society (ACS) - the world's largest scientific society and a leading source of authoritative scientific information. Our mission is to enable the commercialization of chemistry and allied products and technologies. We are housed within ACS headquarters in Washington, DC. Our revenue is used to support the Society's mission.

TechCatalyst's Finder & Advisor Service (FAS) helps you find strategic product development opportunities to lessen your risk. Our seasoned technology transfer professionals can help you find new or complementary technology, expert advice, and other key elements to meet your strategic needs.

Bringing a product to market also requires capital. Our Finder & Advisor clients can seek capital financing through CATALYST, an accredited-investor program. CATALYST is designed to accelerate development of start-up technologies by providing clients with acquisition and development funding on flexible, tailored, and non-opportunistic terms.

FAS and CATALYST objectives include:

• Adding value to the technology for participants in the licensing process;
• Introducing and advancing ACS as an important resource to those seeking technology transfer assistance;
• Contributing to the further development of the chemical professional and practitioners by providing incentives for applied, cutting-edge research; and
• Advancing the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and its people.

At TechCatalyst, we are doing more to transform technology for a better world.
