Tech2transfer

Tech2Transfer is a platform that analyses scientific papers to assess their technology readiness and commercial potential. The site says it is powered by DeepSeek models. You upload a paper as a PDF, and the tool produces a report aimed at helping researchers, investors and industry partners decide whether an innovation is worth taking to market.

The problem it targets

The company's whitepaper points out that there are over 90 million scientific papers, yet only a small share of research becomes products or services. It names several obstacles: researchers struggle to showcase their work, assessing commercial potential requires expertise, many projects fail to find funding, and matchmaking between researchers and investors is slow.

What the analysis covers

According to the site, the platform's models evaluate research papers, patents and technical reports to judge commercial viability, intellectual property strength, market potential and scalability. Listed features include automated technology assessment, patent landscape analysis to identify existing IP challenges, and market potential evaluation. The assessment system is described as a multi-layered architecture that ingests, parses and evaluates manuscripts before generating a report.

Pricing

You can try it for free or sign in with Google. Paid plans are monthly: Starter at $29 (shown discounted from $99) includes five reports with standard quality and customer support. Advanced at $499 (shown discounted from $1,299) includes unlimited reports at the highest quality, custom fine-tuning, a scoring system, access to industry partners and enterprise support.

Who it suits

Tech2Transfer suits university technology transfer offices, researchers thinking about spinning out a company, and investors or corporate scouts who screen many early-stage technologies and want a quick first assessment.

Things to consider

An AI report is a first filter, not a substitute for expert due diligence. Judgements about patent strength and freedom to operate in particular need review by a qualified patent attorney, and market estimates should be checked against real customer conversations. Before uploading unpublished research, check how documents are stored and whether they are used for training, because early disclosure can affect patent rights. Try the free option with a paper you know well, so you can judge how accurate and useful the analysis is before paying.
