EUREC Agency presents the results of its technology transfer promotion project ProRETT at the Committee of the Regions during the European Sustainable Energy Week.

Policy recommendations and good practice for effective support to the innovation process from research to market - lessons learnt from 63 real-life cases

The commercial maturity of R&D results can be assessed for five main topics: technology, market, business model, teams, and financing. Empirical evidence shows that targeted innovation support services can help in achieving commercial maturity.

The presentations will illustrate the most typical shortcomings of publicly funded R&D results in terms of commercial maturity for each topic. They will make concrete suggestions for policy-level and programme-level measures to promote quicker and broader market update of research results.

EUREC Agency invites stakeholders from politics, research and finance to a half-day workshop organised in the frame of the European Sustainable Energy Week.
