Transfer
In this perspective technology (knowledge) transfer is key for innovation processes to take place! Technology Transfer and Innovation are two sides of one medal
BUT
Traditionally the RTD&I systems both in market and in transition environments were (and still are!?) based on a rather linear way of thinking technology transfer/innovation

It is more complex:
Innovation System
Competitiveness
Growth
This is why I am presenting in the following part selected examples for TT-schemes as well as some lessons deriving from that
3. Examples of TT schemes
3.1 Cases for TT schemes in North Rhine Westphalia
ZukunftsWettbewerb Ruhrgebiet Target SMEs + research institutions, network - joint projects - joint development - joint application of knowledge Max. 50% funding rate for winning projects PFAU young start ups (prestarting phase) through heads young graduates bring university know how into new firms IPT
SME
through heads
Funding
via personnel costs -Max 60% of gross amounting to part-time annual salary placement at university - Max 12,750 (male) + 5000 for consultancy and 15,300 (female) services 2 years call/competition/ selection committee 4 months 1 year On-going proposal submission
Most of the start ups were build near the respective university Regions without an university did not benefit from this tool
FP6 Project: Romanian Days of Innovation RoDI What was it all about? Building up of two networks: IST and biotechnology Promotion of FP6 and FP7 participation for RO researchers Training seminars on FP 7 in all 8 regions National FP6/FP7 conferences Sustainability and enhancement of the IST Network assured via a National Research Project: Prom IST PC7
Programme of the National Authority for Scientific Research in support of TTI infrastructures (INFRATECH): Technology and Science Parks
Business Incubators Technology Transfer Centres
Infratech
2 components: Institutional build up (1 year) Specific services (5 years) Budget: up to 500.000 EUR per project Network of Romanian TTI structures
Refrain from too strict legal codifications. A law is not really needed. Can be an obstacle in the implementation.
Importance of a demand orientated approach. Not all > 60 TTI entities regard themselves as innovation service providers! Financial sustainability is a problem
