Workshop: "Creating investable spin-offs: Lessons from technology transfer and EIC Tech to Market"
- Tech to market
European competitiveness requires putting research and innovation at the centre of the European economy. Technology transfer from universities and research centres is key for turning research and innovation into successful spin-offs, yet the process and negotiations can be challenging. Licensing terms, equity structures, and national regulations all shape whether spin-offs can attract investment and scale. This workshop brings together IP and tech transfer experts to share their experience and perspectives on technology transfer practices in Europe. The panel will highlight practical lessons, negotiation insights for founders, and how EIC Tech2Market venture building activities can support sustainable spin-off creation.
