Knowledge and Technology Transfer

The Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) Team at ICFO plays a key role at the interface with the industrial and corporate worlds maximizing the flow of information, knowledge, technology and talent.

The KTT Team is responsible for establishing strategic alliances and collaborations with industry, the private sector in general and all types of collaborators.  With experience in both business and research, KTT develops a customized business plan that mutually benefits the company and ICFO.

The results are flexible tech transfer alliances with our partners that address their broad needs and interests, from specific research and consultancy projects, co-development, launching of joint ventures, joint labs, and personnel exchange programs, licensing, to other initiatives such as individualized life-long learning courses, workshops, priority recruitment and networking.

The KTT Team is also responsible for the management of ICFO’s intellectual property portfolio, fostering entrepreneurial activities and spin off creation and the ICFO outreach program, among others.
