What is technology transfer?
Key stages of the research promotion and technology transfer process
Public research promotion supports an invention to transform it into innovation. It links public researchers with the socio-economic sector: startups, small- and medium-sized companies, major groups. This process requires several essential steps.
Toulouse Tech Transfer background and shareholders
Founded on 25 January 2012 as a Simplified Joint-Stock Company (SAS) with a share capital of €1 million, Toulouse Tech Transfer is the result of a joint venture involving several major players in the Midi-Pyrenees region.
Its key shareholders are Université Fédérale Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées (UFTMIP), Bpifrance, the French Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the City of Toulouse and the Occitanie region.
UFTMIP, now known as the University of Toulouse, is a community of universities and institutions forming a region of excellence in the research and innovation sector with four universities, eighteen engineering colleges and specialist colleges, and seven recognised research organisations (CNRS, ONERA, Inra, Inserm, IRD, CNES, Météo France).
The process leading to the creation of Toulouse Tech Transfer commenced in July 2010, when the French National Research Agency (ANR) launched a call for proposals to set up Technology Transfer Acceleration Companies (SATTs).
In collaboration with CNRS, UFTMIP then drafted the Midi-Pyrenees proposal and submitted it in January 2011.
The Toulouse Tech Transfer SATT was then born from this vision and shared aim to promote research and accelerate technology transfer, thus making a significant contribution to innovation, economic development and job creation in the region.
Supported by committed shareholders and strong partnerships, TTT is resolute in pursuing its mission and continues to make history in the area of research promotion and Deep Tech business creation.
