The Technology Transfer Acceleration Offices (SATT) are 13 structures aimed to support organisations in the transfer of technology from research to the industry. They are part of the measures implemented for the “Investment for the Future” programme (PIA), whose objective is to close the innovation gap. They are financed through an exclusive investment fund of EUR 856 million. The main beneficiaires are universities and research organisations (including cluster members). They support them to valuate, market and license their technology and increase the Technology Readiness Levels. The main success factor is that SATTs allow to foster the cooperation between public research and the private sector, which has been identified as key for economic competitiveness.
