Abstract

Technology transfer is a complex and multifaceted activity whose main goal is to promote academic knowledge transfer from academia to industry. In this context, one of the most challenging parts of technology transfer activities is to inform stakeholders from the industry about the availability of academic results. Traditionally, this occurs through academic publications, and companies with a research department already use this knowledge source. Nonetheless, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) do not often have the time or the resources to study and interpret results from academia. This paper describes a technology transfer Web portal that promotes technology transfer offers in a industry-friendly format. The portal aims at fostering innovation and collaboration between academia and industry.
