TT Program

The TT Program is designed to build transactional capabilities in technology transfer by adopting an integrated approach that engages researchers and local and international technology transfer practitioners in Serbia.

Technology Transfer Program

Technology Transfer Program (TT Program) provides support to R&D institutions in order to increase their ability and efficiency in the commercialization of inventions. The TT Program aims to increase the relevance of scientific research by creating new products that are relevant to the economy and/or society.

As part of the TT Program, Awardees will have access to financial and mentoring support to increase technology and commercialization readiness level and create conditions for bringing their invention to the market. The involvement of mentors with experience in turning research results into products with market demand will contribute to the quality of the outcomes of the supported projects.

Through this program, inventions that have reached at least technology readiness level 4 and have defined ownership of intellectual property rights will be supported.
