Dr. Norbert Mueller, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering - Woven Turbomachine Impeller. The woven impeller may be used in compressors and turbines. Its unique design uses a bundle of fibers woven together into a lightweight, high-strength form. The woven shape also lends itself to novel components for electric motors and generators. The technology has been proven in field testing and is applicable in a wide variety of green energy applications. Dantus’ research in ultrashort pulsed lasers and their applications has resulted in 37 invention disclosures submitted to MSU Technologies since 1994.

These are high-risk, well-considered studies likely to attract independent follow-up funding.

Leverage Project grants support specific, focused research efforts contributing to validation-oriented valorisation (e.g. proof-of-concept research, feasibility study, validation and support of patent applications) or research activities conducted in the context of a Leverage-to-Knowledge-Platform Project. In addition to standard Leverage Projects, other types of Leverage Projects are possible: Amount of funding Funding up to € 100 000. Duration In principle, projects run for one year, but the grant can be used over the next year.

Conditions and restrictions In the case of non-standard Leverage Projects, pre-application consultation with the chair of the IOF Council and the Vice Rector for Research is required.

NSBA celebrates young entrepreneurs (March 27, 2013) At the 16th annual NSBA Business Builders Awards on March 26th, 2013, the Young Promising Entrepreneur Award was presented to one of our Tech Venture Challenge teams – Farm at Hand. Four teams - all Tech Venture Challenge Participants - had about an hour and a half to convince many of the 500 + guests of their business potential. Standing in front their displays, members of the teams were kept very busy pitching to a very captivated and curious business community.

And that engaged audience then cast their votes, based on those very short and compelling pitches. It was a tremendous opportunity for our young entrepreneurs to meet the business community and both share and receive feedback on their business. Encouraging comments heard during the pitches included: ‘Here’s my business card, please call me. Congratulations to all of the award participants: Farm at Hand, OneStory, Open Mind Developments and Student Task Check. Central Europe Research to Innovation Models.

We present an overview of the new University of Utah program where spinouts have skyrocketed (the stats above). Etzkowitz (2008) shows that despite the press and PR, the median TTO loses money - probably more than is usually known. We offer here a set of key principles for successful technology commercialization, illustrated by a very recent exemplar, that of the University of Utah.

Louvain_Belgium. When a patent application has been filed, our team will contact you to draft a promotion sheet. This sheet will be used to contact companies with a potential interest in the technology in question. The person in charge of your file will also ask you to provide a list of companies or individuals from your own network so that the technology may be offered to them in priority. This will allow us to gauge market interest in the technology and to identify and define the promotion strategy to adopt.

When the strategy for the protection and promotion routes have been approved, our team will carry out a market survey (segmentation, size, competition, etc.) in order to position your invention in relation to existing solutions. To consider the developments needed to obtain a proof of concept (prototype) that corresponds to market needs,to determine in which countries patent protection would be advisable if entering the national phase (30 months after having filed the patent application).
