ASTP is pleased to partner with the European Patent Office (EPO) for the launch of the new EPO Observatory study on Technology Transfer Offices. This online event brings together leaders from research organisations, industry, policymakers and the European knowledge transfer community to discuss how Europe can strengthen technology transfer and accelerate research impact.
How can knowledge and technology transfer become a stronger engine of competitiveness, technological sovereignty and societal impact?
Europe is home to world-class science, leading universities and globally recognised public research organisations. Yet translating research into successful products, companies and real-world impact remains a shared challenge.
Knowledge transfer professionals play a central role in bridging this gap by connecting research with industry, investors and society.
As the leading professional association and the collective voice of Europe's knowledge transfer community, ASTP is proud to contribute to this discussion and to the EPO Observatory study by bringing together the perspectives and experience of practitioners from across Europe.
The event opens with a conversation between the EPO and ASTP, introducing key findings from the new Observatory study on Technology Transfer Offices. This is followed by two panel discussions exploring practical ways to strengthen Europe's technology transfer ecosystem.
Topics include:
The discussions will bring together leaders from research organisations, technology transfer offices, industry and the wider innovation community to share perspectives on the future of technology transfer in Europe.
Whether you work in knowledge transfer, innovation management, research commercialisation or innovation policy, this event offers the opportunity to:
