Industry investor and licensee for IP retention and knowledge valorisation: ERA-01 and ERA-02 (WIDERA 2027)

About
Slovakia Technology Investments a.s. (STI, Košice, Slovakia; PIC 864519000) offers to join a consortium for HORIZON-WIDERA-2027-05-ERA-01 or ERA-02 as the industry partner. STI is a technology investor that works with its own capital: it takes research results and IP to the market through licensing, exploitation, market validation and investment readiness, including technologies whose original owner can no longer carry them.
What we can contribute:
-
ERA-01: the view of an investor and licensee on institutional IP and rights-retention policies, so that open access and the commercial uptake of results can go together; testing draft policies and model licence terms against real investment and licensing cases;
-
ERA-02: placements and mentoring for early-career researchers in our group's R&D and engineering teams (Slovakia Supercomputers: AI, IoT, embedded systems, 3D/VR; IPE: process and plant engineering), and the industry view on careers between academia and business;
-
exploitation, IP and business-model tasks, up to leading that work package;
-
a Widening-country perspective: Slovakia.
We also work with technology-transfer offices and universities on valorising academic IP for the 2027 calls HORIZON-CL4-2027-01-MAT-PROD-42 (unlocking academic IP), MAT-PROD-49 (proof of market) and MAT-PROD-50 (venture builders), and welcome contact from teams with assets to valorise.
