Four main areas

Technology transfer tasks include scouting out innovative ideas, establishing the right contacts between science and business, dissemination and marketing new technologies (online publication, presentations at tradeshows and events etc.).

We support university business start-up projects  in general by providing coaching and consultation services, offering teaching and information, connecting applicants with funding programmes and making funding programmes available directly.

We provide support throughout the various patenting processes. This includes tasks such as evaluating inventions, registering with the patents and trademarks office and licensing of intellectual property. We are happy to answer your questions regarding the filing of patent applications.
