Technology transfer

Technology transfer is an indicator of the transition from the academic world to industry. MAPS’s activities in this way include licensing and the creation of spin-offs. These are achieved through cooperation and the participation of professors and researchers in the projects illustrated here.

  Patents

Between 2016 and 2018, and over the following years, MAPS has lodged seven patents.

Such innovation, output and knowledge transfer prove the department’s ability in this area. In particular, its inventions are in the fields of infectious diseases and zootechnics. Some were also achieved in collaboration with other institutions (public and private) with whom MAPS collaborated to share its skills and expertise.

  Spin off

Spin-off companies reflect researchers’ business abilities, and MAPS has brought about two spin-offs: Grainit srl and Vetekipp.

Grainit focuses on the development, production and commercialization of quality analytical tools for food farming products.

Vetekipp, through the Vetmenu Programme and V-Integra, represent a means to formulate a balanced domestic diet for cats and dogs.
