Tech Transfer
TNO's Tech Transfer programme ensures that society and business can benefit from our technological innovations as quickly as possible by bringing products and services to the market, for example by setting up spin-off companies. We invite entrepreneurs, (private) investors and venture builders to join us.

The innovation ecosystem
When technological innovations reach the right level of maturity, researchers can join forces with investors, start-ups, scale-ups, and partners to launch their technology in the market. Through the Tech Transfer programme we gather the right stakeholders together to bring innovations to life and make a direct impact on society. And, in doing so, we create future earning capacity for the Netherlands.
From tech to spin-off
In the Tech Transfer programme we look at whether we can turn an internal technology into a new company. Or that we can arrange a licensing agreement for an existing company. Within projects, we conduct market research, draw up a business plan and make agreements. After successfully completing the Technology Transfer programme, there is a spin-off with a validated value proposition and a business plan. Including a dedicated team and the latest technology with intellectual property rights.
