The event offers a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and tools available for transferring the results of scientific research to the market through commercialisation and business creation. It will explore in depth the licensing mechanisms for third-party companies relating to patents and software owned by UniTrento, alongside an analysis of the pathways dedicated to the launch of new academic entrepreneurial initiatives. Specifically, the University’s services supporting the creation and accreditation of academic and student start-ups will be outlined, together with the training programmes offered by the School of Innovation and the mentoring programmes promoted by the Trentino Innovation Hub Foundation (HIT) for entrepreneurial teams in the pre-incorporation and pre-acceleration phases.
