The goal of the financial support programme aws License.IP is the efficient support of grant recipients by the Austria Wirtschaftsservice Gesellschaft mbH (aws). Thereby, the successful licencing of the technology of third parties, preferably from academic and extramural institutes, is funded in order to promote their own technological innovation strategy and to shorten the “time-to-market” of new in-house developments.
The target group of the financial support programme are small and medium-sized companies, which want to licence technologies of external technology providers.
Projects that can be funded
