Welcome to Technology Transfer!
Knowledge and technology transfer is an important task of a scientific institution. At KIT, the Innovation and Relations Management (IRM) service unit is responsible for aspects oriented to the economy. The services offered are aimed at companies on the one hand and at KIT employees on the other hand:
The offers for companies are primarily concerned with access to current research results and support in the transfer process from identification and mediation to conclusion of a contract.
For KIT employees, IRM is an internal service provider responsible for consulting and process support from the initial idea and its patent protection to commercialization by addressing potential industrial partners and own project and financing options.
