PROTTEC is an INTERREG IVA project that brings together partners from the Channel coasts of France and England.
In Europe, knowledge transfer from academia to industry, particularly SMEs, falls behind the levels and quality achieved in the United States and Japan. Whilst academia has strong links with enterprises in education and research, technology transfer remains week. Europe is usually considered among the best world performers in terms of research capacity, but this potential is too rarely transformed into innovative products and ideas, and the potential contribution to economic growth is lost.
This is the situation PROTTEC seeks to address.
