Innovation management
The path from the idea to the development of a technical solution to its realisation with an industrial partner or in your own start-up is often challenging. We support you with the necessary preparatory work for successful collaborations, licence agreements or spin-offs based on research results developed at TUD. At the same time, we are also a point of contact for companies interested in innovative technologies. Technology transfer transforms expertise into marketable innovations - new products, processes and services that create social and economic opportunities.
We accompany you from the idea to successful commercialization - from invention disclosure to partner search and technology marketing to the license agreement.
