The transfer of knowledge and technologies from research to practice is one of the key levers for sustainable innovation. In a recent article in GoingPublic – Platform Life Sciences, Britta Neß, Benedikt Mahr, and Kai Grunwald shed light on how scientific excellence can lead to successful spin-offs and the role that close cooperation between science and industry plays in this process.

The article impressively shows the opportunities, but also the challenges, associated with different transfer and licensing models. Especially for young companies, choosing the right path is crucial for successfully transforming ideas into marketable solutions.

At WIPIT, we also see tech transfer as a central part of our work: we support the implementation of innovative concepts and promote networking between research, industry, and start-ups in order to jointly advance future technologies.
