Consulting on the exploitation of technology
Every year, around 250 invention disclosures, project proposals and innovative business ideas for start-ups reach the Innovation and Relationship Management department. However, not every idea has the maturity or economic potential to be pursued further.
The task of the innovation managers is to filter out those ideas that appear promising for exploitation together with the scientists. For these promising technologies, we jointly develop valorization strategies, establish contacts with suitable companies, and organize the entire process from initial talks to the successful conclusion of contracts and beyond.
The information flyer offers an overview of the support services in Technology Transfer for scientific employees.

Within a clearly defined framework, the Technology Transfer team has the opportunity to invest substantial time and money in the projects, for example, in the development of a patent portfolio, the preparation of technology offers, and the approach of potential industrial partners, or through concrete financing from the KIT innovation fund.
