Act on technology transfer etc. at public research institutions

The Danish Council for Technology and Innovation (DCTI) has implemented a proof-of-concept financing for public research institutions.
 
The funding can be used to ‘buy free’ researchers from teaching and research for a period so that they can concentrate on their invention.

In addition, the funds can be used to employ project workers and enlist external expertise, e.g. for market evaluations and patenting.
