What Is Their Role in Innovation and Technology Transfer?
SMEs are often at the cutting edge of innovation, developing new catalytic materials and processes that can be patented and commercialized. They play a crucial role in technology transfer, bridging the gap between academic research and industrial application. By working closely with companies, SMEs help to ensure that new technologies are not only scientifically sound but also commercially viable. Their expertise is essential in navigating the complex process of bringing new catalytic technologies from the laboratory to the market.
