Module 3: Technology Transfer Methods


This module offers a comprehensive introduction to the formal and informal methods used in transferring technology from research and development to market-ready applications. It explores structural approaches, key actors, legal instruments, and the risks associated with technology diffusion in a globalized, competitive environment.

In Part 1, participants learn about channels of technology transfer, including licensing, R&D collaborations, and the role of Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs). In Part 2, the focus shifts to market research and competitive intelligence, addressing how information can be ethically gathered or, in some cases, misused through industrial espionage. Understanding both the enablers and threats is crucial to building robust, sustainable transfer systems.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Technology Transfer Models: Market-based, cooperative, and institution-driven methods

  • Licensing and Intellectual Property: Legal tools for transferring know-how and protecting innovation

  • Role of TTOs: Institutional mechanisms supporting structured and efficient transfer

  • Competitive Intelligence vs. Espionage: How to ethically gather strategic insights, and how to protect sensitive knowledge

  • Barriers to Transfer: Cultural, legal, financial, and operational obstacles

  • Case Studies and Practical Tools: Real-world examples from European and global contexts

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between formal, informal, and illegal tech transfer approaches

  • Design appropriate licensing and collaboration strategies

  • Navigate the functions and benefits of TTOs

  • Conduct ethical market research using CI frameworks

  • Identify risks like knowledge leakage, dual-use misuse, and industrial espionage

  • Apply mitigation strategies to safeguard technology assets

This module helps build the technical, ethical, and strategic foundation for managing technology transfer in both academic and industrial settings.
