Technology Transfer TT exists on a low to medium level: • A: Increased considerably due to more political awareness:New legal status of universities since ~2000, creation of „competence centers“, now COMET programme www.ffg.at/content.php?cid=340; Funding programs, e.g.FIT IT etc. • CR: Strong interest from ICT multinationals (IBM, MS, CA etc.), • SK: Lower costs until recently, electronics, automotive • H: Long tradition in informatics, electronics. Public funding in all 3 new EU states still low
