The CAST Business Awards do support you in thinking over and screening the commercial potential of your research results, technology or innovative development at the academic institutions and non-academic research institutes of the Tyrol.
The possibilities for exploiting promising research results or new technologies are diverse. The commercial use of your invention might form the basis of an own enterprise or start up-company. At the same time attractive revenues could also be achieved by granting licences for example. Those might be used as income from third parties for your future research or help to further ensure sustained advances in innovation in your research first. There might be a variety of options. What is most important – you will benefit personally from any way of commercialising your technology.
Take the opportunity! Use our competition to review how inventions within your academic work could generate revenue. Our application document does contain the relevant questions. Our expert judges do give valuable feedback in written form.
Prizes are awarded to those business ideas submitted, which have the best prospects towards successful commercial exploitation of innovative research results and new inventions.
