Technology Transfer

We build a bridge
between research
and enterprise.

Innovation is an essential component of competitiveness. However, to innovate continuously, a company must develop the ability to anticipate technological change, integrate it within its operations, and leverage ideas both from within and outside the organization.

For this reason, our Technology Transfer service is of crucial importance. Here, innovation becomes tangible and purposeful, bringing together two worlds: research and business. This synergy fosters the growth of companies, startups, and research institutions, and, consequently, contributes to the technological and economic advancement of our country.

Research that creates, business that adds value

We believe that a great company is measured by its ability to innovate and diversify its products and services consistently, remaining competitive. In technology transfer, our goal translates into accelerating growth and technological advancement, which begins with an in-depth preliminary analysis of the company and its context.

We strengthen the link between the worlds of Research and Business, addressing the specific challenges of each client and finding the most suitable solutions with the ultimate aim of producing Innovation.

How?

We assess the true market value of a technology and create a co-development pathway to transform it into a competitive product on the global market. Through our expertise in Technology Transfer, we accelerate our clients’ growth processes, laying the foundations for entering new markets by transforming industrial research results into products and expediting the acquisition of Know-How and Patents in the most promising technological frontiers.

On one side, we work to bring out the embedded value in our clients’ technological assets; on the other, we identify innovative third-party solutions for companies to integrate into their production processes.

Consistent with our approach, knowledge is the starting point for identifying the patents and technological and A.I. solutions best suited for each client, launching the technology transfer process. This process is dedicated to developing and implementing customized projects with an Open Innovation approach and ongoing support through interactive training courses for managers and employees. This leap into innovation ultimately aims to enhance the client’s patent portfolio.

Vision and creative solutions, the engine of technological innovation

We believe that startups, with their relentless pursuit of original and exponential solutions, are at the forefront of technological, economic, and social innovation—creating value that goes beyond mere business creation.

This is why we are dedicated to supporting them with a comprehensive range of tailored consulting services. From market analysis to business planning, economic valuation of patent portfolios to investor outreach, and international expansion, we stand by them at every stage of their journey.

Additionally, we facilitate their search for industrial partners for scaling up and commercializing their products and services.

The benefits:

Increased chances of securing funding (EUIPO notes that investors prefer ideas that are not only robust but also protected)
Identification of strategic partnerships, where a well-structured IP Strategy not only defines the competitive advantage of a solution but also highlights collaboration opportunities
Accurate valuation of intangible assets
Adequate protection of intellectual property, especially in the Open Innovation phase where Background Know IP must be safeguarded.

‘I research therefore I am’: Italian value in the global marketplace

Research is the engine that fuels progress; it is through research that we explore the unknown, challenge the limits of possibility, and discover solutions to the most complex problems. Every technological advancement, scientific discovery, and game-changing innovation has its roots in research. And it is through research that each country defines its place in the world, its role in the international innovation ecosystem. We are here to support Research Centers, bringing their achievements to the global market.

How?

We collaborate with development agencies, universities, and research centers to highlight and disseminate the outcomes of their work. We carefully assess the technological and economic potential of the innovations developed by their researchers and are committed to supporting university spin-offs and startups involved in acceleration and incubation programs. Through tailored labs and services, we create an ecosystem where innovation can flourish and thrive.

We are a bridge to the future; only together can we make a difference.

Our role is to enhance know-how and envision the most suitable strategy for identifying patent solutions and involving key partners and companies that can provide the momentum and consistency needed to accelerate project development.
