Technology Transfer
|
|
Research results from the University or the ETH Zurich that have economic potential should be
economically exploited to the extent that this is possible. When there is an active partnership
between science and the economy, ultimately both benefit. Life Science Zurich can bring valuable
impulses and increase the attractiveness of the economic location Zurich.
The technology transfer services Unitectra und ETH-Transfer offer researchers comprehensive services in
the entire process of economic conversion of research results. In particular, they arrange contracts with
private economic partners (cooperation contracts, licenses) und take care of the protection of
intellectual property, for example, in the form of patents. In addition they support the founding
of so-called spin-off companies. A spin-off company is a business that arises directly from research
and development conducted at a university. Founders of a spin-off company have a head start in know-how
that can be transformed into a market advantage, resulting in competitive products and services for which
there is a demand.
The technology transfer services support recognized spin-off companies for the first year with
infrastructure, advice, and financing. Further information about technology transfer, including
particular examples of spin-off companies from Life Sciences, is available under www.unitectra.ch, www.transfer.ethz.ch, www.spinoff.ch and www.spinoff.ethz.ch.
