The technology transfer is implemented together with the services and offices that Politecnico di Milano has founded to support research exploitation: the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and the PoliHub.
The TTO manages the early phases of the technology transfer, including the analysis of research exploitability, the contact with the inventors, the patenting process, and the start-up of spin-off companies. The PoliHub follows-up the TTO activity, assisting young entrepreneurs and researchers in their company’s start-up.
The DEIB has been a driving force in the conception of the TTO and of the PoliHub and is the leading contributor in terms of delivered patents, spin-offs, and incubated companies.
