Alison Campbell OBE PhD RTTP
Director, Knowledge Transfer Ireland (Central Technology Transfer Office)
The national IP protocol
• Developed by industry, investors, technology transfer, government
• Lays down a framework for industry to access public research
• Mandated the creation of a central Technology Transfer Office
Having a centralised function
• To take a national perspective on the KT system.
Having one organisation
responsible for this ensures a
system-wide approach for
Ireland.

Connect and leverage
• We make the opportunities that business wants to access from
Ireland’s HEIs and State research organisations more visible and more
accessible.
• Using the KTI website, it’s now possible to search for Irish research
expertise, new technologies and licensing prospects all in one place.
• And to connect direct to the right people in the TTOs in Ireland.
• KTI facilitates business, investors, technology transfer professionals
and researchers to connect to share best practice and thought
leadership through the KTI programme of events.
A more predictable KT system
• We are working with business, investors, research funders and TTOs to
review, recommend and implement changes to the way in which Ireland
approaches managing IP and contracting.
• KTI has produced the first in a series of the KTI Practical Guides and
KTI Model Agreements that can support business as it approaches
working with an HEI.
• Ireland’s research funding agencies are working with KTI to help
simplify contracts that underpin business and research collaboration.
Impact from KT – driving business
success
• Innovation from Irish research is driving success for small and large
companies, national and international.
• KTI undertakes review and reporting on outcomes and impact from
knowledge transfer in Ireland.
• And we publish the Annual Commercialisation Survey that describes
the outputs from Irish research performing organisations.
Supporting Ireland’s KT infrastructure
• KTI directly supports the development of Ireland’s knowledge transfer
infrastructure to provide the capacity and capability to deliver first class
service to business and the research community.
• KTI allocates, manages and evaluates the Technology Transfer
Strengthening Initiative (TTSI) programme from Enterprise Ireland that
directly funds the Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) in Ireland’s HEIs
and State research organisations.
• TTSI1 resulted in product development, increased turnover and job
creation for and by business
• TTSI2 deployed to 8 consortia across Ireland
Ireland’s innovation policy
