About us FR

The Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnership Department helps researchers and industrial partners, from initial scientific discovery through exploitation and implementation of inventions. FR

Our mission FR

The Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnership Department collaborates with industrial partners worldwide to spur development based on the Institut Pasteur’s excellent research potential.
Innovation development and technology transfer are promoted by the Institut Pasteur through its multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach to research. The Institut Pasteur is also a member of the Institut Pasteur International Network composed of 32 institutes throughout the world.
The Institut Pasteur Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnership Department has generated close to 700 million euros in revenue over the last 15 years.
The aim is to promote an open approach to future industry partners, from startups to major groups, to adapt more efficiently to society’s current and future needs.
The Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnership Department's mission is to identify projects with high development potential and accelerate their transfer to industry, through collaborations with industrial partners, licenses or the creation of startups.

Innovation - About Us - Institut Pasteur

"There is science and the applications of science, bound to each other as the fruit to the tree that bore it" Louis Pasteur

Our ambition FR

Developing research applications is one of the objectives of the Institut Pasteur 2019/2023 strategic plan, whose goal is to give new impetus to basic research and increase its impact on health issues.

Specific measures have been introduced to boost the capacity to develop interaction with industrial partners. Such actions include financial incentives, including technology transfer in the performance assessment criteria for scientists, and most notably, the establishment of the Consultative Innovation Committee and the Innovation Accelerator:

The Consultative Innovation Committee is composed of internal experts in both scientific and industrial research. It provides technical expertise that allows the Institut Pasteur to consider research projects not only in terms of scientific interest, but also in terms of industrial feasibility and potential market value.

The Innovation Accelerator set up in 2019 at the Institut Pasteur is tasked with bridging the technological development gap currently standing in the way of licensing and commercializing new scientific discoveries. By combining financing strategies, industrial technical support, and business expertise, the Innovation Accelerator will allow promising innovations to move efficiently from the laboratory to the commercial domain.

By helping our scientists to turn their excellent science and ideas into applications and innovative products and services, we aim to make healthcare available for everyone everywhere in the world. Technology transfer and the development of industrial partnerships boost funding for new projects and benefit public health
