Technology Transfer
Technology Transfer Interface
The valorisation of research results implies that the knowledge gained and the results of scientific research and technology of the university are made available to society and in the first place to industry.
These aspects are managed and coordinated by the Technology Transfer Interface (TTI), which is part of the R&D Department.
Via the TTI, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel generates a so-called 'deal flow': identifying research results that are suitable for economic valorisation and guiding technology transfer dossiers and spin-off projects.
As a link between the university and industry, the TTI guides researchers through every stage of their collaboration with industry.
The TTI is your partner for advice and assistance in the following areas:
- Funding for applied research
- Seminars on starting up and patenting
- Legal advice and services on behalf of third parties
- Protection of knowledge
- Technology offers
- Spin-offs
- The BIł venture capital fund
- Incubation centres
- Research parks
- Industrial network
- University-Industry Technology Days
