KBBTargets of the Project:

- development of a common training for

Regional Technology Transfer Facilitators

- search and train TTFs

in Styria and Slovenia

- carry out TT projects with companies in the border regions and

by that increase innovation in these companies

- policy recommendations

- disseminations, b2b events, http://www.kbb-si-at.eu/


Modules INTERREG PROJECT KBB:

• Module Technology Transfer Models

• Module Business Models

• Module Change Process

• Module Technology Management

• Module Knowledge Transfer

• Module Product & Service dissemination


PROJECT KBB TRANS:

The aim of the project KBB-Trans is to transfer the training course

on the topic technology transfer to other partners in Europe. The

technology transfer training course was developed under the frame

the KBB project (www.kbb-si.at.eu). The KBB project has been

developed to boost the activities of technology transfer in the

region between Styria/Austria and Slovenia in order to provide the

relevant stakeholders with the methodology for technology transfer

training and to work on pilot projects in companies .

4 Technology Transferprojects


4 Projects:

1. „Tarpaulin Container“ 2. „Functional Food for Elderly

People“3. „Beverages Made of Roses“4. „Manniladen“


Transfer Project: „30 - foot tarpaulin container”

Technology Transfer Facilitator: Wolfgang SchabereiterCompany name: Montanspeditions GmbHName of Transferinstitute: Transsystems- UNI Leoben


Target sector: transport of goods in the bimodal traffic

Size of the company: 30 people

Location: Kapfenberg/Styria

Founded: 1973

Description of the Company:


Content of the Technology Transfer Project

Development of a 30-foot tarpaulin container

• Weight saving - construction and material

• Functional design –

flexibility


Weight issue:

The average weight of a multifunctional 30-foot container is between 3,800 - 4,500 kg: about 75 % of the empty weight is allotted to the platform and frame structure, about 25 % on the cover (walls, doors, shutters and roofing).

-> The target weight for the new 30-foot-tarpaulin-container max. 3,500 kg!

Functional design and flexibility issues:

The optimal loading and unloading of containers from the customer's perspective is an important decision criterion in the selection of the logistics partner. - Flexibility means the best possible loading and unloading with

common devices (such as fork lift) must be guaranteed. - Ability to load and unload the means of transport on several

points (from the side, from behind, from above).

The greatest benefit for customers is primarily the design of the 30-foot tarpaulin-container. Through flexible and ample loading and unloading potential of that type of container there are easier logistics processes for customers than before, which also brings an enormous time saver. Further benefit for customers is on the economic level. Because of the flexibility unloaded drives can largely be prevented, resulting in a significantly more attractive prices for customers.

Simulation is useful in the product development process.Benefits are:

• Better visualization• Review of product functionality already

during development• Flexible product development • Reduction of product defects and recalls• Shorter development time, more cost-

effective, high quality weight optimization

• consideration of components of high complexity in total system

Tasks of the TTFs


Project: „Functional Food for Elderly People“

• Technology Transfer Facilitator: Martina Fellner• Company name: vitavin, Gerhard

Jagersberger• Name of Transferinstitute: Dr. Siegfried Wagner

(Business Center Lebring)


Description of the Company:The company vitavin was established in 2009

Jagersberger is producing entirely organic

high quality grape juices

Address: 8942 Wörschach, Au 263

Homepage: www.vitavin.eu

http://www.vitavin.eu/



• Analysis of different kinds of grape juices

- with the aim to be able to show the healthy

aspects of vitavin juices (breed, processing..)• Tests about possible contaminations to proof the

taste

- to show the benefit of organic juices• Another focus was on the the packaging – appealing

to elderly people (research)

- > less mobility, single, eat/drink less, easy to open ….


Project: „Beverages made of Roses“

Technology Transfer Facilitator: Elisabeth SchöttelCompany name: Erika Swoboda -

Sternhof VitalkosmetikName of Transferinstitute: Eurofins – ofi

Lebensmittelanalytik GmbH

Description of the CompanyIn 1974 the family Swoboda moved from Vienna to Arnfels into a 250 year old farm house called „Sternhof“

-> cosmetics (herbs, oils, …) -> „Styrian roses“

Address: 8454 Arnfeld, Kohlberg 1

Homepage: www.sternhof.at



• Idea to make beer with the scent of roses, cooperation with „Lavabräu“;

• Water with the scent of roses(storage life, food-safety aspects, taste)


Project: „Manniladen“

Tasks of the TTFs


- Find an appropriate research institute

- Do the planning and the controlling of the projects (time frame, working packages, costs (just of the TT project))

- Make the necessary reports

- Support the company in the market implementation phase (where possible)

- Ensure the next steps are taken: Write project proposals for further funding (SFG, FFG, ERA …)

- Evalutation: TTF and company evaluating the TTF

Tasks of the TTFs


- To find an appropriate research institute (time frame, money, understanding) - -> exchange rather than transfer

- Ensure, that a common language is spoken

- Be strict with the controlling of the projects - too many projects in the companies, - very little time, not enough staff, money issue ..- too many ideas …

- Ensure that information is passed on, stay in touch

- Get useful feedback, to be able to improve performance
