The Republican Center for Technology Transfer (RCTT) is looking for partners to implement a project on the topic: "Research into the possibility of using AI tools in the work of technology transfer centers and networks".

Brief information about the problem.
In the Republic of Belarus, an automated system of information support for innovation activities and technology transfer of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (ASIS IATT) has been developed, on the basis of which the Network of the Republican Center for Technology Transfer Network RCTT) operates, providing information support for the transfer and commercialization of technologies created both in the Republic of Belarus and abroad. In order to improve information support for Network members, RCTT is looking for partners in Belarus and abroad interested in researching the possibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve the efficiency of technology transfer centers and networks.

The following work is planned within the framework of the research:
A). Analysis, selection and adaptation of AI models for the implementation of work on the integration of selected AI models into the work of technology transfer centers and networks for the purposes of:
– automation and improvement of the quality of profile preparation (technological proposals/requests, business proposals/requests and requests for R&D(T)R) based on the use of AI;
– creation of promotion and marketing content for finding partners using AI tools;
– automatic scanning and analysis of Internet resources, scientific publications, patents, catalogs and other data sources to identify competitors and potentially valuable technologies using AI tools;
– identifying technologies that can be successfully commercialized by matching the proposed technologies and services with market needs using AI tools;
– determining optimal product promotion channels and optimizing marketing strategies using AI tools;
– supporting the negotiation process using AI tools;
– monitoring and managing the commercialization process using AI tools.
B). Development of recommendations for the integration of AI tools into the work of technology transfer centers and networks, in particular into the subsystems of the ASIS IATT platform.
