Satt, the France-based regional tech transfer network, has released its operational data on work carried out since 2012.
There are currently 14 Satt offices across France, each one handling between 6 and 24 research institutions in their respective region – a total of 185 institutions.
Together, the network has invested €183m ($205m) in the maturation of projects and industrial property, licensed 349 pieces of intellectual property to businesses and assisted in the creation of 106 spinouts. Of the 106 startups, 50 of them were created in 2015.
More than 900 technologies were supported and matured by the network with 350 innovations being transferred to companies through partnerships.
The report expects that spinouts can be judged on revenue and job creation within three to four years.
This year, the Satt network has already signed two partnership agreements. One with ASRC, a non-profit association for France-based private research and technology organisations, and one with AFSII, the French association of service companies and innovation for life sciences.
GUV previously interviewed Laurent Baly, chief executive of Satt Sud Est, which can be found here.
