Advancing Impact-Driven Venture Building: INFINIRA Ventures Supports the Future8 Technology Transfer Facility for Impact (TT4I)
INFINIRA Ventures establishes its role within the Technology Transfer Facility for Impact (TT4I), supporting the venture creation and market deployment of screened technologies with high societal and environmental potential
INFINIRA Ventures, together with Future8, is strengthening its contribution to impact-oriented technology transfer through its active involvement in the Technology Transfer Facility for Impact (TT4I), a growing network dedicated to translating research and innovation into measurable societal and environmental outcomes.
As a venture builder focused on transforming promising technologies into scalable ventures, INFINIRA Ventures plays a key role in identifying, validating and advancing screened technologies with the potential to address pressing global challenges. Through its participation in TT4I, INFINIRA contributes entrepreneurial expertise, venture development methodologies and investment readiness support to accelerate the journey from innovation to real-world impact.
The Technology Transfer Facility for Impact serves as an intermediary platform connecting research organisations, universities, companies, investors, public stakeholders and innovation ecosystems. By bringing together technology transfer and venture-building capabilities, TT4I aims to create more effective pathways for technologies that generate both economic value and positive societal outcomes.
“Many impactful technologies demonstrate strong potential but face significant challenges when transitioning from research to implementation,” says Klara Schneider, Managing Director at INFINIRA Ventures. “Through TT4I, we can combine technology screening, venture creation and ecosystem building to help these innovations reach the markets and communities where they can create meaningful change.”
Supporting the venture building of screened technologies
Within the TT4I framework, INFINIRA Ventures focuses on supporting technologies that have already undergone screening and assessment processes, identifying those with strong market potential and clear pathways to societal impact. The venture-building process includes opportunity validation, business model development, team formation, market positioning, investment preparation and strategic partnership development.
By working closely with technology owners, researchers, impact investors and industry partners, INFINIRA helps bridge the gap between technology transfer and company creation. This approach enables promising innovations to move beyond licensing and towards sustainable market deployment through dedicated ventures capable of scaling their impact.
Together with TT4I partners, INFINIRA contributes to building a stronger ecosystem for impact-driven innovation, where technologies are not only transferred but also actively developed into solutions that address societal and environmental needs.
As TT4I continues to expand its network and activities, INFINIRA Ventures will further strengthen its engagement with research organisations, innovation ecosystems and impact-oriented investors across Europe. The goal is to create new opportunities for screened technologies to reach the market through dedicated venture-building pathways and to demonstrate how entrepreneurship can accelerate the translation of research into tangible societal value.
“Technology transfer does not end with identifying promising innovations,” adds Klara Schneider. “It requires the right entrepreneurial structures, partnerships and investment mechanisms to transform potential into lasting impact. Through TT4I, we aim to contribute exactly to this process.”
