Mandate and remit

What This Program Does

Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures (JHTV) publishes a technology-transfer and entrepreneurship platform for moving discoveries from the university and its research community toward products and services. Its official Technology Transfer page says the group partners with inventors, helps identify companies or investors interested in a technology, negotiates license agreements, maintains relationships with companies developing licensed technology, and advises faculty on commercialization paths. JHTV's Programs and Services page names FastForward as a coordinated set of resources for startups moving from startup to marketplace, along with cohort-based programs, mentorship, and a Commercialization Academy. This profile uses Johns Hopkins Medicine as the health-system context while preserving the official JHTV description of its broader academic research remit. It does not infer that every supported startup is a Johns Hopkins Medicine spinout.
