VIADUCT
Valorising public research to drive technology transfer and commercialization through creation of spin-off
Project summary
VIADUCT (Valorising public research to drive technology transfer and commercialisation through creation of spin-off) aims at promoting the creation and development of technology-based spin-offs based on smart specialisation strategies by tackling main barriers related to spin-offs creation and consolidation through the improvement of Policy Instruments.
The project develops an inter-regional cooperation scheme composed by Europe’s premier association of Knowledge Transfer professionals (ASTP) as advisory partner, and 7 partners from 7 regions in 7 countries spread over Europe with a balance of advanced and less advanced regions.
The interregional exchange and learning process activities include Interregional thematic workshops and study visits, regional reports and interregional analysis, and regional stakeholder meetings, that will facilitate the improvement of policy instruments. This will ensure a successful process of knowledge transfer through spin-offs(S/O), facilitating their creation and survival.
