IESE Technology Transfer Initiative

Technology Transfer ensures that scientific advancements don’t remain confined to academic journals but instead translate into real-world solutions, benefiting industries, economies, and society at large. That’s why IESE Business School actively facilitates technology transfer through several key initiatives:

IESE Technology Transfer bootcamps

Our Technology Transfer bootcamps are intensive, hands-on initiatives designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world business opportunities. Tailored for entrepreneurs, researchers, students, and technology transfer professionals, our bootcamps equip participants with the tools, frameworks, and networks to transform innovative ideas into viable commercial ventures.

Through a mix of expert-led sessions, case studies, and practical exercises, participants will gain insights into market validation, intellectual property strategies, funding options, and go-to-market planning. With a practical approach to collaboration between academia and industry, the initiative accelerates the journey from lab to market, empowering innovators to create lasting impact.

Ignite Bootcamp. A pioneering bootcamp organized by IESE Business School, Ignite Bootcamp brings together top European engineering students. Over 4 intensive days, teams from 7 universities work on transforming innovative ideas into market-ready solutions, guided by industry mentors and IESE professors. The initiative features workshops, mentoring, and networking, with a focus on sustainability and technology challenges. As part of the EuroTeQ alliance, it strengthens collaboration between leading engineering institutions and business schools.

Technology Transfer Initiative is part of IESE’s entrepreneurial ecosystem for the development of new ventures, innovation and growth.
