Biotechnology is referred to as one of the key enabling
technologies of the 21st century. It has the potential to offer
solutions for a number of health and resource-based problems the
world is facing, such as unmet medical needs and fossil fuel
dependency. Considerable effort and investment has been expended in
recent years to try and improve the outcomes of technology transfer
in order to fulfill this potential.This book presents seventeen
best-practice case studies on the topic of effective technology
transfer in biotechnology. The selected case studies focus on
technology transfer offices, funding models, incubators, education
and clusters. Each presents an overview of an initiative that was
deployed in Europe with the aim of supporting and stimulating the
transfer of biotechnology discoveries and technologies from
research laboratories to society. Readers are provided with a
critical assessment of each initiative and policy makers,
entrepreneurs, cluster managers and research institute managers
will find inspiring lessons they can draw on when developing and
implementing similar initiatives elsewhere.These cases are the
product of research undertaken as part of the ETTBio (Effective
Technology Transfer in Biotechnology) project, co-financed by the
European Union (ERDF - European Regional Development Fund) and made
possible by the INTERREG IVC Programme. ETTBio commenced in January
2012 and concluded in December 2014.
