Tech Transfer
Accelerating the market launch of innovations and technology. So that society and business can benefit from technologies sooner. That’s the aim of our Technology Transfer programme. We’re always on the lookout for investors and entrepreneurs for this programme.
From technology to spin-off
In the Tech Transfer programme, we consider whether we can turn an in-house technology into a start-up company. Or whether we can arrange a licensing agreement with an existing company. Within projects, we carry out market research, draw up a business plan, and make agreements, among other activities.
Successful completion of the Technology Transfer programme will produce a spin-off with a validated value proposition and a business plan. Including a dedicated team and the latest technology with intellectual property rights (IP rights).
Spin-offs
Do you want to know more about our spin-offs or contribute to the technologies? Take a look at the spin-offs or contact the entrepreneur.
