In a global market in which the industrialised countries are suffering from the relocation of their traditional manufacturing industries, the competitiveness is heavily dependent on research and innovation. The production and use of scientific and technological knowledge has become crucial in this new competitive knowledge society. In this context, the mission of Milan Polytechnic, through its TTO, is to develop and encourage the technology transfer to help the economic regional development. Technology transfer is a tool to enhance research and resolve the apparent conflict between industry and university. The TTO wants to be a common ground for collaboration between Milan Polytechnic and industry, and to contribute Annually, Milan Polytechnic's central government allocates a budget for the operation of TTO (dedicated to the activities). Two-thirds of this budget is spent on the maintenance and management of patent portfolios, whereas a smaller sum is used for spin-offs. In addition to this budget, the TTO self-finances its activities to a considerable extent. This self-financing comes from patent sales, royalties and fees, sale of shares in spin-offs, consulting and involvement in projects.
