The Role of Free Trade Agreements in building a Resilient Normative Framework for International Technology Transfer KU Leuven
In order to enable citizens to benefit from technological advances and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, it is essential to overcome the technological divide between countries. Technology transfer (TT) is the cornerstone of this project and is a standard component in trade and environmental agreements. Yet, no consensus exists as to how TT should be defined, which obligations are comprised in TT and what the role of intellectual ...
Sabbatical Bart Leten: KU Leuven
The sabbatical period will be used to delve into three new lines of research within the domains of business strategy and innovation management. A first line of research focuses on designing technology license agreements and studying digital technology markets. The central question here is which factors (technology and business characteristics) influence the design of license agreements and how the design choices affect the financial and ...
Automated analysis of sports team movement tactics: demonstrator and initiation of license track Ghent University
In this project, we want to create a demonstrator able to support existing sports analytics companies that are currently unable to automatically analyze complex player interactions
based on x,y,t-coordinates of players. Building upon UGent research results on the geographical information model QTC (qualitative trajectory calculus), we want to develop a system that can detect similar player patterns within a database of ...

VersaTile Platform: innovating modular proteins by combinatorial design Ghent University
During a preliminary process (IOF StarTT 039), the VersaTile Platform has matured into a mature technology. The platform is a comprehensive DNA assembly method aimed at protein engineering and is extremely suitable for the synthetic biology of modular proteins. A service agreement with a company has been signed. Following a positive evaluation of the project, both partners aim for further negotiations concerning a license agreement.

Is the new EU regulation (EU 2023/1115) prohibiting the placement and export of certain commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation enough to deter illegal logging? Hasselt University
MULTISEAL – Drained Sealing Method for Watertight Joints Between Building Envelope Components Ghent University
Sealing of building envelope component joints with watertight, easy-to-install and long-lasting solutions which can be applied in a circular context, is key for the built environment. With this project we aim to strengthen our position in prospective licensing agreement discussions by validating the MULTISEAL technology (patent pending) both in lab conditions and in-field, by demonstrating the performance of functional prototypes in an ...
