Nanobiotechnology: Technology Transfer and Innovation Performance of Scientific Parks in Spain towards H2020

This document analyses the state of the art of the technology transfer and innovation performance of scientific parks in Spain, focusing on the research and development of Nanobiotechnologies as crosscutting Key Enabling Technologies (cross-KETs), which are among the priorities of the Horizon 2020 Framework strategy. Science and Technology Parks (STPs) and Areas of Innovation (AI) are now fostering technology and market driven projects with a risk management strategy at an early stage adjusted to the H2020 requirements. In this context, Bio&Health Nanotechnology will be analyzed by presenting available data on patents, publications, networks, related industry, and market projections as indicators of Technology Transfer and the Spanish Innovation Ecosystem. Nowadays, STPs have an important role in the leadership and coordination with universities and industry for H2020 projects in order to bend the curve of the valley of death for R&D commercialization.
