Spin-off

The SNS undertakes to support its community in the processes of the creation of new ventures. In accordance with a special regulation, researchers and lecturers have the right to create a spin-off company whenever the entrepreneurial project involves the enhancement of the results of research done at the SNS; in the same way, undergraduate and PhD students can found a start-up.
The services proposed by SRT in this context include:

* orientation towards training courses designed to develop entrepreneurial skills and know-how for future founder members;
* technical and market analyses of feasibility and prospects of an entrepreneurial idea, assistance during the processes of the constitution proposal;
* scouting for funding opportunities (private and from investment funds);
* information for the licensing of patents in favour of spin-offs;
* support for participation in initiatives such as Start Cup and Hackathon, support for the development  of Investor Pitch.

Up to now, the SNS has recognised 3 spin-off ventures, which are periodically monitored, also in terms of Research Quality Assessment.
