1. EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453 WP2: Catalysing Innovation Task 2.2. Transferring Innovation to Society/Industry Focused promotional initiatives and entrepreneurship schemes to support the dissemination of EuCARD-2 innovation Enrico Chesta Head of CERN Technology Transfer and IP Management Section Knowledge Transfer Group, FP Department (FP/KT/IP)

2. Summary Promotion of selected technologies to industry through thematic science-business workshops and brokerage events – e.g. WAMAS – Nov. 2013 Support of entrepreneurship initiatives and spin- off/start-up companies – e.g. CERN BIA concept, NTNU-CERN Screening Week, STFC-CERN BIC Technology promotion and spin-off company support through participation to large industrial fairs – ex. CERN-ESA stand at Hannover Messe – April 2014
