Description
Veneto Innovazione is the regional agency for research, innovation and technology transfer in Veneto.
Through its activities Veneto Innovazione aims both to accelerate the innovation process of regional SMEs
in order to increase their competitiveness and to support regional research centres and universities in
the exploitation of their research results through technology transfer in close collaboration with the
main international networks. Beside direct innovation support services, Veneto Innovazione is also
involved with the Regional Authority in defining, testing and implementing new effective innovation
policies and infrastructures. The idea of structuring a regional tech-transfer office in order to exploit
the know how developed inside the public research has to face several aspects: selection of research
results potentially interesting for the market, identification of the suitable IP valorisation and its
financing, marketing of the applied technologies and their licensing or selling. For being effective, the
initiative has to balance and combine the interests of all the chain involving directly the stakeholders
(researchers, university ILOs, entrepreneurs associations, chambers of commerce, patent attorneys, lawyers
etc ) under the supervision of the regional agency devoted to the innovation topic.
