Network

PerfeTTO is the first Italian network composed of technology transfer offices (TTOs) in the Life Sciences sector, funded with a total investment of €30 million, of which €15 million is financed by the Ministry of Health through the National Complementary Plan (NCP) to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), Innovative Health Ecosystem E.3.

The project, which brings together 54 centers of excellence located throughout Italy, including public and private IRCCS (Scientific Institutes for Research, Hospitalization, and Care), universities, foundations, and hospital companies, in the form of a Temporary Consortium. It aims to promote a nationwide culture of technology transfer in the Life Sciences sector and bridge the gap between research and society to foster knowledge and generate social and cultural growth.

There are three coordinating centers, one in the north (Monzino IRCCS Cardiology Center), one in the center (Romagna Institute for the Study of Tumors “Dino Amadori” IRST) and one in the south (Ente Ospedaliero Specializzato in Gastroenterologia “Saverio de Bellis” IRCCS).

They work in synergy with partners to deliver, implement, and share: training activities, best practices, guidelines, operating models, national and international databases, and research enhancement projects, with the future implementation of an IT platform with artificial intelligence capabilities.
