Objectives

The objective of the Technological Springboards Network (TT Network) is to increase the number of technology-based companies and the number of patents that emerge from new technologies developed in Catalan universities. The TT Network is the channel to facilitate the transfer of innovative technologies from universities to companies, so that they can help them developing their research projects and, therefore, improve the innovative capability of the Catalan business community. At the same time, it helps the science world to find out what are the technological needs of the private sector.

Other results achieved by the TT Network in 2006 are:

• 69 technology-based companies started-up
• 21 patents
• 443 analized projects
