Technology transfer is the transfer of know-how and technologies. Technologies include a wide variety of technology areas, such as materials & processes, automation & robotics, sensors & measurement techniques, mechanical components, life sciences, medicine & pharmaceuticals, communications, electronics & optoelectronics and energy. This also includes the areas of computer hardware and software with VR, AR, AI, testing and simulation as well as the service sector.
Every company and every sector has its own expert knowledge and know-how as well as innovations and technologies relevant to the sectors and industries concerned.
Technology transfer can already take place in larger companies. These companies usually consist of several independently operating departments and/or units. Even here, there is a lack of knowledge about who is working on which topics and what developments and innovations the respective areas have produced. Individual divisions can benefit from other departments within the company. The establishment and operation of an internal technology transfer department in large companies makes economic sense.
But also outside of individual actors there is a huge potential to learn and benefit from others, especially when it comes to other sectors. Why shouldn't different sectors share their expertise and innovations? EurA AG's decades of experience in the field of innovation consulting have shown that it is precisely the exchange between different sectors that brings about a number of advantages and completely new innovations.
The services offered by EurA AG are based on more than 30 years of staff experience in successful technology exchange between different sectors, mainly in the field of technology management, which includes the areas of technology consulting, transfer and evaluation.
Experience is available in a wide range of industries. However, EurA's greatest expertise is in the field of aerospace. These activities have led to the participation in more than 250 successful transfers of innovation projects for the creation of new products and services based on aerospace technology in a wide range of industries and markets (spin-off), as well as from a wide range of industrial sectors into aerospace (spin-in). The partners involved in these transfers have opened up sales potential in the multi-digit million euro range.
These technology transfer activities benefit companies and research institutions in a wide range of industries, such as automotive engineering, agriculture, medical technology and the health sector, mechanical and plant engineering, the energy sector, materials technology and aerospace.

Your benefits in the area of technology transfer activities, using our space activities as an example:
|

For the mediation and support of the transfer activities, a set of instruments is used that is both broad-based and target-oriented and has been tried and tested over many years which consists primarily of the synergetically reinforcing bidirectional procedures of "technology push" and "market pull". These included both the compilation of an offer of space technologies assessed as transferable and the subsequent search for potential customers, as well as the recording of concrete technological demands from industry and the subsequent search for suitable solutions in the space branch.
These two approaches are supported by an active technology management with support in the areas of consulting, evaluation, transfer, adaptation and marketing. In addition to advising the technology providers and users, the technology offered is evaluated with regard to its transferability and the corresponding demand with regard to a realistic solution possibility. Within the framework of a comprehensive transfer process, the result is a technology transfer from the donor to the recipient. If necessary, the adaptation of the technology to the new area of application can be supported by appropriate financing or funding opportunities. In some cases, further marketing measures are required for the market launch.
The technology transfer procedure is transferable to all sectors and participants, such as companies, research institutions and universities.
Examples of successful transfers are listed at: https://www.esa-technology-broker.de/success-stories.
The cross-sectoral exchange of know-how and technologies offers you enormous potential for innovation and turnover. Thanks to our large network, we can find solutions for you from different sectors and fields of knowledge.
In addition to developing a concept and setting up a transfer strategy, we also broker innovative technologies and cooperations, for example, and are at your side throughout the entire transfer process.
