Innovation and transfers
The University of Tours supports its teacher-researchers, through the Partnership, Innovation and Valorisation Department (SPIV), to:
- Identify innovative results that could be the subject of protection and technology transfer;
- Protect the results by the means best suited to their nature and the envisaged method of exploitation, in particular by registering industrial property rights (patent, trademark, designs), implementing a secrecy strategy or registering digital creations (software, databases or applications) as evidence;
- Define the technology transfer strategy best suited to the effective exploitation of research results, in particular through licensing to third parties or the creation of start-ups;
- Support staff who have the desire to embark on an entrepreneurial adventure to make the most of their results, in the creation of start-ups.

C-VaLo is a system supported and coordinated by the University of Tours, with the main public research players in the Centre Val de Loire region.
C-VaLo's mission, thanks to funding obtained through the Future Investment Programme (PIA), is to make investments in pre-maturation and maturation programmes for research results from its members' laboratories.
