SNS 5.0 Research, innovation and impact
Module 2. The creation of spin-off companies as a tool for the enhancement of knowledge
Companies arising from the enhancement of the results of research (spin-off companies) are a nationally and internationally established phenomenon and a concrete opportunity for research to be transferred to society and to make an impact. The Scuola itself boasts some important experiences of companies formed in the last few years.
These are companies with unique characteristics often linked to a market of reference that is hard to quantify, or that require sizeable initial capital or else very high-level and variegated skills in order to transform an idea into a marketable product.
With the support of entrepreneurs of spin-offs of the Scuola and others, experts in the sector and internal personnel of the EELISA network, the fundamental notions will be provided to enable students to begin to verify the feasibility of an entrepreneurial idea.
