Technology transfer

Partnership for research and technology transfer

The research and technology transfer activities are conducted via partnerships with companies and consortia (TecnoTiberis consortium, Tecnopolo di Castel Romano consortium, and Roma Ricerche, Centro Sviluppo Materiali S.p.A consortium). These partnerships have led to various activities and projects and thereby decisively supported the regional production network in the form of financial support and innovation assistance. The TecnoTiberis consortium was founded, in particular, with the aim of realising development initiatives and technology transfer for SMEs; it was recognised as a 'regional science park' by the Latium Region and receives two important sources of financing for the support of technology transfer in Latium.
