The valorisation strategy is crucial for the University of Vienna in deciding whether to adopt inventions and pursue patent applications. The valorisation strategy is developed collaboratively with inventors and formalised in a Valorisation Roadmap Agreement. This agreement will be evaluated and updated on a regular basis. The outcome of this evaluation will guide future decisions, such as extending patent protection. Key components include setting clear valorisation objectives, like founding a spin-off or licensing to industry, and outlining the next steps to be taken, such as applying for prototype funding.
 

Valorisation Services

The innovation experts of the Technology Transfer Office & Entrepreneurship Team actively support the inventors in the development of a feasible valorisation strategy. The aim of the valorisation strategy is to successfully commercialize the technology. Our experts will define necessary steps and provide specialized services. For the creation of spin-offs, the Entrepreneurship Team provides support, particularly through the innovation labs. Alternatively, the technology can be licensed to companies, with the Technology Transfer Office assisting in identifying potential industry licensees through partnering events and platforms like LinkedIn and InPart.
