Governmental Support Options for the Technology Transfer of Deep Tech Innovations

Abstract

In recent years, systemic and society-changing technological innovations (Deep Tech or DT innovations) have emerged primarily in the USA and Asia, while Europe is technologically dependent in many application fields. The development of DT is characterised by high financial capital needs. Additionally, intellectual property (IP) management plays a major role. To reduce the technological dependency for many areas in Europe, an adjustment of the government’s role as an actor in the innovation system appears beneficial. Targeted measures can improve the development and transfer of DT and, thus, contribute to securing long-term competitiveness of European nations. The aim of this contribution is therefore to identify support options within the technology transfer of DT innovations by conducting a structured literature analysis. In total, 27 applicable options are identified and structured into derived fields of action within innovation systems.

Simulation techniques in industrial engineering: A USA and African perspective review

“…In the context of technology and innovation, the USA has been at the forefront of systemic and society-changing technological innovations, primarily in the field of Deep Tech innovations, positioning the country as a leader in technological advancements (Schuh et al, 2022;Ogundairo et al, 2023;Ayo-Farai et al, 2023). Additionally, the emphasis on moral and cognitive legitimacy seeking for products in the early stage of technology development has been supported by organizational research, reflecting the significance of technology legitimation in the USA (Bunduchi & Candi, 2021).…”
