The IEEE Virtual Workshop on Synergies between Industry-Academia Partnerships, brought to you by the IEEE Denmark Section, organized a workshop at the Center for Industrial Electronics (CIE) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Sønderborg, Denmark. Industry and academic experts deliver their presentations on topics related to how to strengthen industry-academic relationships in terms of knowledge sharing, technology development, and technology transfer. The research community, faculty, and students, practicing engineers/innovators will have reason to familiarize themselves with the workshop content.

Technology Transfer: Advices for Smooth Technology Transition from University to Industry

This video is about the process on taking inventions from University Research to market (technology transfer). How does it work? What are the key steps and concepts to understand? Very practical and done by expert Senior IEEE Member, Marc Perron, ing. Ph.D. (Canada).

Presentation Outline:

1- What is ‘Technology Transfer’?

2- What are the common bugs and how to overcome them?

3- My IEEE Journey in promoting Tech Transfer

4- Conclusion and some perspectives

This is not a theoretical presentation about IP, patents, etc. This is a very practical presentation giving advices and insights based on ‘from the field’ experience. Target Audience: Researchers having an interest with Industry Collaboration Ph.D. students interested in starting a company based on their research Technology Transfer Offices SMEs looking to understand how to collaborate with research.
