Technology transfer
Through its members, the Department contributes to technology transfer activities through the establishment of Spin-off/Start-up companies and the publication of patents.
Spin-offs and Start-ups
The Department is particularly active in the establishment of Spin-off or Start-up companies of the University of Udine as a tool to transfer the scientific and technological expertise of its members. The University of Udine’s Spin-off Regulations distinguish between University spin-off companies, in which the University is part of the shareholding structure, and University start-up companies, promoted by structured personnel but without University shareholding. The status of University spin-off or start-up is normally maintained for a period of five years from its establishment.
Current University spin-offs or start-ups originating from the Department:
- Avietra S.r.l. (Start-up)
Former University spin-offs or start-ups originating from the Department:
