The Technology Transfer Office (TTO) of the University of Zagreb supports and promotes the commercialization of innovative results created by University
researchers.
The TTO was established in January 2008, with a mission to ensure the implementation and functioning of an effective infrastructure for technology transfer
within the University of Zagreb in order to successfully transfer technologies to the market so as to generate benefits for the inventor, the Faculty, the University and the Croatian economy.

These aims are accomplished through three main types of activities:
• The commercialization of research results;
• The management of intellectual property in research projects;
• Awareness raising and training on intellectual property and technology transfer.

The TTO supports researchers by evaluating the technical and commercial potentials of innovations. The TTO determines the appropriate way to protect the intellectual property and identifies the route to the market for the innovation. The TTO set a goal to successfully connect researchers and their research results with partners from industry and to ultimately capitalise the commercial potential of research. In order to ensure that researchers have the necessary knowledge about intellectual property in research and commercialisation the TTO regularly organises workshops and seminars. Subjects such as intellectual property basics, management of intellectual property in research projects, technology transfer and commercialization of innovations are covered by these training sessions.
