Partner Support
Connecting New Opportunities, Solutions, and Partnerships
Partnering with LVOC unlocks access to more than scientific resources. LVOC also houses teams from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory dedicated to building and facilitating relationships with industry, government, and academic partners. Whether you are looking to identify new market segments or develop academic or government partnerships, LVOC has a team to help.
Innovation and Partnerships Office (IPO)
Bringing LLNL science and technology to the private sector
IPO serves as a focal point for LLNL engagement with industry—through technology commercialization, fostering entrepreneurship, or business development activities, IPO’s mission is to grow the economy by advancing the development and commercialization of LLNL’s scientific discoveries.
IPO identifies new economic opportunities and solutions and transfers those to the private sector through licensing or partnerships for the benefit of the U.S. economy. LVOC’s close proximity to Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area enables close connections with innovators of all roles and backgrounds.
Academic Engagement Office (AEO)
Fostering collaborations and sustaining long-term academic partnerships
AEO engages students and faculty in collaborative research and development, work study opportunities, and educational activities that support DOE/NNSA programmatic objectives, address national security workforce needs, and enhance community awareness and understanding of science.
Office of Governmental and External Affairs (OGEA)
Developing partnerships between LLNL and government stakeholders
The OGEA team partners with LLNL’s senior management to develop and manage strong and productive relationships between the Laboratory and federal, state, and local government stakeholders.
OGEA is responsible for planning and guiding the Laboratory’s governmental relations program and advocacy efforts, as well as building a strategy for engagement with the local community, various boards and councils, and partners such as the Livermore Lab Foundation.
