At INFN, Technology Transfer aims at enhancing the results of the scientific and technological research activities. Cutting-edge technologies developed in our research laboratories can be applied in various sectors, offering opportunities for technological innovation for the benefit of industries, businesses and society as a whole.
Vision
We are convinced that basic research and innovation are two extraordinarily synergetic worlds and we want to maximise INFN’s impact on society and industry.
Mission
We facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technologies from Fundamental Physics to the market. We evaluate, protect and license technologies, making our competences available to collaborative opportunities.

Mission
We facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technologies from Fundamental Physics to the market. We evaluate, protect and license technologies, making our competences available to collaborative opportunities. This is made possible thanks to our team distributed throughout the Italian territory and the well-established international INFN’s network.
Organization
INFN’s strategy for Technology Transfer is based on the enhancement of innovative ideas and techniques that arise in the field of basic research, with the guiding principle of facilitating and accelerating the processes underlying the exchange of knowledge between the world of research and industry; new technologies can thus be transformed into goods and services that can be used by the community. To reach these goals, the Technology Transfer Team is organised into three pillars:
National TT Committee
The National Committee for Technology Transfer (CNTT) is a strategic scientific-technological steering body.
TT Service
The Technology Transfer Service (STT) is responsible for the protection and enhancement of the research results, taking care of administrative and relationship aspects.
Network of local TT contact persons
30 Contact persons distributed throughout the territory represent the contact point for Technology Transfer activities between each INFN facility, the TT service and the National Committee.
