CAT

The CAT provides a seamless interface between academic research in the university and the uses of technologies. Basic research takes place in university-based research laboratories and departments. Some of this research is carried out in partnership with academic and industrial laboratories throughout the world. The CAT stimulates these activities, develops demonstrable prototypes based on selected technologies, tests uses of these technologies, captures feedback needed for further technology enhancement, and then facilitates their use inside and outside of NYU... A portion of the CAT's activities focuses upon business and economic development. Supported by a major grant from New York State, the CAT works to help accelerate the transfer of technologies into the New York economy and to encourage non-New York technology companies to increase their local involvement.
