TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER DEFINITION
Complex process of transfer (application) of results, findings, inventions and knowledge
gained by research activity into the economic and social praxis with aim of commercial
valuation
Generally, there are several steps to be followed
1. Assessment of commercial potential of invention/technology
2. IPR protection, usually in form of patent
3. Technology marketing / partner search (public/private sector, multinationals, ...)
4. Commercialisation (licencing agreement, company creation – spin-off/start-up, selling the
patent, etc.)
