The vision of the technology development office is to create unity among the various health technology development management units in the university by creating a mechanism known as the technology transfer office. The office can remove the missing link between the university and the industry. Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, one of the leading universities in the country in the field of creating and localizing various technologies, has formed a working group to launch the office and create appropriate models for technology transfer and proper communication between the university and industry. The Technology Transfer Office is an institution that works to protect and support intellectual property and technologies created or developed in the university and also, to create a context to transfer outside the university. In this way, students, researchers, knowledge-based companies, universities, and society benefit from the interaction. On the other hand, these centers are part of the value-creation chain in the industry. The strategies of awarding points as well as the mechanism of their activity have a great impact on the process of transferring and using new technologies.
