FRAMEWORK
The ACCELERAMED project aims to implement a systematized technology transfer and acceleration of R&D results program, with effective tools and methodologies for the development and consolidation of an innovation ecosystem around scientific entities in the medical sector.
The promotion of cooperation with industry and interaction between higher education entities, research centers, incubators and science and technology parks result in the emergence of new technology-based companies, in the form of spinoffs, in the project's areas of intervention.
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Development of activities to accelerate technological transfer processes, validation of these same technologies and their respective integration into the market, enhancing the results of their exploitation
The operational objectives are as follows:
- Identify and evaluate research results and technologies with potential, in the early-stage phase with a network of partners in the areas of Life Sciences, Biotechnology and Health
- Create a network of key partners in the technology transfer and innovation ecosystem
- Create early-stage screening models for IDI results
- Create interface mechanisms between research centers and companies in order to identify opportunities for technological development and application of R&D results in the business sector
- Promote training programs for researchers that combine existing specificities throughout the ACCELERAMED value chain with entrepreneurship topics
- Select and validate technology with acceleration potential that results in business initiatives
- Develop actions to promote and disseminate the project among the target audience
