IRT-M2P, Institute for Materials, Metallurgy and Process Technology Research was created in 2013. Our core business is the management of R & D projects and the creation of technological platforms. The first step of a project always involves a technical and scientific watch that we entrust to specialists such as BT2i. These studies are essential for defining the objectives of our projects by providing a comprehensive strategic and scientific analysis. We particularly appreciate the quality and relevance of the information provided by these Technology Intelligence professionals. TWatch Multi-Clients Programs are also very relevant and allow us a regular watch.

Linksium is a technology transfer company working with all the research centers in the French Alps. In the field of innovative materials, we have asked BT2i to perform an international survey on this specific commercialization. They have studied the key success and failure factors in the case of 20 licensed technologies to industrial groups or start-ups at an international scale. This formalisation is an efficient guide to improve the technology transfer.
