Abstract
France’s 14 SATTs (Technology Transfer Accelerator Offices) were created as part of the government-funded “Investing in the Future” program to contribute to the exploitation of research. Their mission is twofold. First, they invest in innovation projects led by higher education and research institutions (ESRs) and national research organizations (ONRs) to transfer their results to the industry (start-ups, SMEs, large groups). In addition, they provide consulting services relative to research and innovation exploitation to ESRs and ONRs in priority, but also to public and private companies. These actions allow them to strengthen their research exploitation activity (detecting, raising awareness, promoting the technological offer among industries).
