Abstract

We present a multi agent system simulating the complex interplay between the actors of innovation involved in the development of technology transfer for Green IT. We focus on the role and the influence of technology transfer offices on the individual objectives of each other actor (researchers, research facilities, companies). We analyse also their impact on several parameters, including sustainability.
