The Praxi Network

PRAXI Network was created to provide bridge between Research and Industry in Greece. Since 1991 PRAXI Network offers Technology Transfer brokerage services to Greek companies and Research Institutions and provides information, mediation and advisory services to all stages of Technology Transfer and Exploitation of Research Results:

• Funding opportunities identification
• Detection of technological needs
• Technology watch and evaluation
• Partner search
• Technology transfer negotiations support

PRAXI Network operates as a distinct entity, under the Central Administration of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) in cooperation with the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) and the Federation of Industries of Northern Greece (FING). It is administered by FORTH, operates as a non-profit private organisation and draws its funds from the European Commission (Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, RTD Framework Programme, Structural Funds) and from services to its clients. Since 2008, PRAXI Network provides innovation and technology transfer services, initially as a member of the Enterprise Europe Network, the largest network of integrated business support to Small and Medium Enterprises, and coordinator of the Enterprise Europe Network – Hellas.

In parallel, the General Secretariat for Research & Technology in Greece appoints PRAXI Network as the National Contact Point (NCP) for the European Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development and currently Horizon 2020, rendering it an official entity for information and advisory support for EU-funded research programmes.
