CTI WTT -Technology Transfer Initiative of the Federation
Within the framework of the BFT-Report 2004-2007, the parliament has allocated a budget for the promotion of technology transfer between universities and industry; particularly within KMU. With the funds from year 2005, the CTI launched the WTT-Consortia. At present four such consortia are supported; three are aligned with various geographical regions, and one is aligned on a technical basis. These consortia facilitate the emergence of technologies from universities into the economy. In this capacity, the following consortia members offer technology transfer services:
