Innovation Partners has been retained by TECNET (www.tecnet.ie) to develop the Business Planning elements of the new Technology Transfer & Licensing training course.

This four day day course provided by TecNet and the EU Innovation Relay Centre will provide participants with the fundamental practical skills and knowledge for effective Technology Transfer & Licensing. Technology Transfer is becoming a common tool for progressive companies who can benefit from an open innovation environment, transferring innovations from other companies and also profiting by transferring their own innovations to other companies.

Companies who practice technology transfer can benefit from external as well as internally sourced technology, reducing the costs and lead time for critical R&D projects. Commercial benefits include;

• Access to large amount of internationally developed technology with licensing potential
• Smaller up front payment where royalties can be financed through sales
• Reduce lead time to market as new technology may well have been proven in other markets
• Detailed technical and commercial assistance from original technology developer or donor

Companies can also extend their market presence in a very cost efficient manner and increase sales revenue through the licensing out of their own technology

Companies can also extend their market presence in a very cost efficient manner and increase sales revenue through the licensing out of their own technology innovations & know-how.

Senior executives and managers from companies currently considering their innovation and technology acquisition strategy.
