ATTP

National Implementation & Management of Technology Transfer Initiative in Austria

Aims

Identification of space technologies which can be also used in economy and technology sectors on Earth.

Brief Description

Technologies which have been developed within different space programmes provide a lot of characteristics which are interesting and useful for applications on Earth. Thus, the European Space Agency ESA is funding the transfer of space technologies into terrestrial applications.

ESA is supported by the Europe-wide Technology Transfer Broker Network (TTN) and national technology transfer initiatives.

The first step towards technology transfer is identifying and highlighting excellent space technologies providing the potential to be used also on Earth for different technology areas. In Austria, several space technologies could be identified already.
