The Technology Transfer Office (TTO) was created in January 2010 with the goal of turning ideas into assets through the protection and valorisation of knowledge generated at FCT-UNL.

The main function of the TTO is to provide services that help build an ecosystem based on synergies between the Caparica Campus and Industry to disseminate, promote and create value using Intellectual Property Rights; promote and facilitate the knowledge transfer process for the benefit of the FCT-UNL community and industry, through the protection of ideas and technologies.

FCT-UNL has established leading national and international partnerships, in order to foster an entrepreneurial culture allowing the TTO to support faculty, researchers, students and staff in the development and commercialization of technologies.
