Our objective is to utilise the innovation potential of universities and research organisations commercially through the transfer of knowledge to companies.

Why is this so important? Because innovations and a scientific edge are the basis for economic success and prospective jobs. In global competition it is important how quickly and how well a knowledge edge is converted into a competitive lead. Ultimately both - science as the supplier of technology and business as user and marketer of the innovation - profit from technology transfer.

As a patent marketing agency for 27 universities of North Rhine-Westphalia PROvendis offers companies exclusive access to the inventions and patents of over 20,000 scientists in a wide variety of technology fields. At the same time, PROvendis follows and supports collaborative projects between research and business to create the prerequisites for a successful transfer.
