Transferring knowledge and technology from research into practice is a key driver of sustainable innovation. How scientific excellence can lead to successful spin-offs, and the role that close collaboration between academia and industry plays in this process, is explored by Britta Neß, Benedikt Mahr and Kai Grunwald in a recent article in GoingPublic – Plattform Life Sciences.

The article impressively highlights the opportunities and challenges associated with various transfer and licensing models. For young companies in particular, choosing the right path is crucial for successfully turning ideas into market-ready solutions.

At WIPIT, we also view tech transfer as a central component of our work: we support the implementation of innovative concepts and foster networking between research, industry, and start-ups to advance future technologies together.
