Knowledge Transfer
Bridging Research and Industry: Enabling Impact through collaboration
Knowledge Transfer is designed to create a tangible bridge between the world of research and the productive ecosystem, with the goal of transforming scientific knowledge into new products, services, and entrepreneurial initiatives.
The Lab Villages, both physical and digital, serve as the primary points of contact between companies and research centers, offering spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and the co-creation of innovation pathways. Central to this ecosystem is INEST Digital Platform, which not only provides a single entry point for information and access to research labs, but also integrates a dedicated digital workspace for collaborative projects and a digital office tailored to the needs of researchers and companies.
This digital environment enables researchers to manage their activities efficiently, connect with partners, and participate in discussion groups and collective initiatives, while companies can access up-to-date information, book appointments, and engage in co-creative sessions.
The platform’s functionalities are designed to support every stage of the innovation process, from scouting opportunities to developing joint projects and accessing training through the Academy for Companies.

A key aspect of this approach is the development of specific methodologies to support companies in structuring their innovation roadmaps and connecting effectively with research. Through targeted diagnosis and guidance, companies are helped to translate their vision into research topics, identify the most relevant partners, and build research-innovation programs tailored to their needs. This pragmatic and responsive interface fosters a dynamic relationship, ensuring that innovation processes are accessible and actionable for all stakeholders.
In addition, the Spin-Off Venture Studio model accelerates the transformation of research results into viable start-ups, enhancing the impact of knowledge transfer on society and the market.
