The FITT Toolbox is a collection of instruments offering practical help for technology transfer officers and their day-to-day work. In the FITT Toolbox seven European transfer experts have codified their practices and condensed their experience. It is now available at FITT-For-Innovation.eu.

The FITT Toolbox focuses on the five core topics of technology transfer and includes an overview on each topic which is enriched by best-practices, case studies, instruments, external sources and articles:

• Opportunity Identification
• IP Management
• Human Resources Management
• Value Creation
• Networking & Clustering

Due to its modular structure, the FITT Toolbox offers tailored material according to the users’ need and is flexible adoptable for other European regions.

Moreover, the FITT Toolbox is going to be complemented by four additional services:

• The Community of Practice “ICT TechTransfer” connects professionals in the area of ICT technology transfer on LinkedIn and fosters exchange among practitioners.
• The Recommended Background Bibliography provides a collection of “must-reads” focusing on all aspects of technology transfer.
• The Transnational Training Programme offers a personalised service for technology transfer practitioners meeting their special training needs (available soon).
• The White Book contains recommendations for policy makers to push forward actions in order to improve the framework conditions of ICT innovations (available soon).

The complete FITT package will be available at FITT-For-Innovation.eu – for more information, contact the FITT communication officer or join the LinkedIn Group “ICT TechTransfer”.
