PROSPECTS 2003/2004
EIF considers (in cooperation with DG Research) how to invest in “Technology Transfer“ (US model, new developments in Europe…)
Aim is to support financially networks of University & Research Centres
Fill the gap between research and commercialisation / market access– Longer maturity– More risk– More public money– But still commercially run investments
