Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation Giovanni Anelli, STFC – CERN BIC The STFC - CERN Business Incubation Centre (BIC) pilot scheme will support businesses and entrepreneurs in taking CERN innovative technologies and know how from technical concept to market reality. A very efficient and highly visible way to transfer technologies. STFC provides: Funding: Accompanied technical visits to CERN GBP per company Access to expertise at STFC Business support (which may include advice on business planning, investment fund raising, finding collaborative partners) CERN provides: Use of CERN IP at favourable conditions Use of the “CERN Technology” and “CERN Spin off” labels Access to expertise at CERN – up to 40 hours free access to technical expertise and facilities (subject to availability)

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation Giovanni Anelli, How does it work in practice? Potential applicants submit “expression of interests” STFC and CERN evaluate them and decide who to invite to a technical visit at CERN (funded by STFC) KT co-organizes the visits and put the potential applicants in contact with technical experts at CERN who could help If the visit at CERN is successful, potential applicants are invited to formally submit an application to the scheme (this includes a business plan) A committee composed by STFC, CERN, a Venture Capitalist and ESA evaluates the requests The selected applicants are admitted to the incubator (sometimes with some caveats)

Knowledge Transfer | Accelerating Innovation Giovanni Anelli, and CERN KT HEPTech is composed by Technology Transfer Offices of public research organizations active in particle, astro-particle and nuclear physics. CERN is the founding member and is represented by the KT group HEPTech provides a forum for exchanging ideas and best practices on Technology Transfer, and organizes several events with Industry (AIME – Academia-Industry Matching Events). The activites of HEPTech are reported to Council every year in September The actual Knowledge Transfer is done by the “KT groups” of the various members HEPTech is not the ENET, which is CERN network of KT representatives in the member states
