Innovation Relay Centre (IRC) Services

The Madrid IRC is made up of a team of technology transfer (TT) experts that will help you throughout the TT process.

Technology audit: We visit your company and give you advice free of charge on the definition of your offers or your technological needs. A joint strategy is set that allows for the best solution to be found in Madrid or Europe for your needs, and possible customers for your offer. We will also explore the possibility of co-operating with research groups in Madrid and sources of financing available for your technology innovation needs.

European dissemination: Having defined your technological offer or request, the IRC sends it across Europe to more than two hundred regional offices where experts will seek the best solutions for you.

Commercialisation and agreement signing: Having made the first couple of contacts, we give you advice on the whole process of negotiating and signing contracts.
