The European Foundation for Innovation (EFI) organised their annual workshop in Rome on November 30-December 2. This year’s topic was “Defining Innovation”. Petra Turkama from CONCORD participated in the event as a panelist on ‘Knowledge and Technology transfer’. The panel addressed the topic from both industry and academic viewpoints, and discussed various means to ensure that the research results and knowledge is effectively transferred to practical use by companies. Petra presented FI PPP as an example of a new initiative where a new process for the transfer is explored. The presentation created a lot of interest from the audience, and discussions will be continued in the coming events.
