“From Lab to Market: Successful Technology Transfer Journeys” presenting our new series of case studies centred around technology transfer. The online session takes place on Tuesday 19 October from 2 to 3.30 PM (CET) and is part of a collaboration between the European Patent Office and the European IP Helpdesk.
Patents and other intellectual property (IP) rights play an important role in translating research results into commercially successful products and services.
During the event you will be introduced to two cases from the series, hearing first-hand from the experts involved how IP supported the technology transfer and commercialisation, and which insights and key learnings they took away from the process.
Booster is a collaborative support service designed to mentor EU-funded project researchers grow their project’s impact and real-world application. The process is hands-on and co-creative: Booster experts bring tailored advice and tools, while beneficiaries remain at the centre of the journey.
Turning research findings into tangible benefits has proven challenging for many EU-funded projects. While Europe is a global leader in generating high-quality research, there’s a well-recognised struggle to translate these findings into market-ready solutions - known as the “European paradox”. Booster’s Go-To-Market support service is designed to address this issue, helping researchers bridge the gap between innovation and impact.
On 22 November, the revamped and renamed Booster was officially launched at an exciting and fact-filled online event, hosted by the European Commission.
The event offers a glance at the valorisation ecosystem and examines the myriad of free-of-charge support services available for dissemination and exploitation activities.
