Atmosfer TTO

What Atmosfer TTO does

Atmosfer TTO (Atmosfer Teknoloji Transfer Ofisi) is a university-based technology transfer office established in 2013 within Teknopark İzmir on the campus of İzmir Institute of Technology (IYTE), operating under Turkey's TÜBİTAK 1513 TTO Support Program. The organization functions as an intermediary between academia and industry, commercializing intellectual capital and new technologies generated through academic research. Its service portfolio is organized around three pillars: services for academics (project development, IP rights management, industrial marketing, entrepreneurship support), services for industry (project consultancy, R&D collaboration, technology acquisition), and services for entrepreneurs (consultancy, training, incubation, financial support facilitation). The TTO also runs structured programs including BİGG.Assist pre-incubation (which has channeled 200,000 TL of TÜBİTAK capital to IYTE entrepreneurs), the Tekno-Girişimcilik Akademisi training program, and Kuluçka incubation services inside Teknopark İzmir, alongside management of an IYTE patent portfolio available for licensing.

The underlying technology is operational rather than product-based: Atmosfer TTO provides intellectual and industrial property rights (FSMH) management, patent and utility model administration, licensing support, and grant-application consulting across national programs (TÜBİTAK ARDEB, TEYDEB, BİGG, BİDEB 2244, KOSGEB) and international programs (Horizon 2020, EUREKA, Eurostars, COST, San-Tez, Teknogirişim). The office has 4–5 identified core staff covering management, IP and licensing coordination, university-industry collaboration, and TTO specialist roles, and maintains partnerships with Teknopark İzmir, TÜBİTAK, ASELSAN, Microsoft Türkiye, LES-Turkey, İzmir Ticaret Odası, and peer TTOs.

The business model is grant-funded rather than commercial. As a TÜBİTAK 1513-designated TTO, Atmosfer TTO operates on government support program funding and delivers most advisory services free of charge to academics and researchers at IYTE. A small portion of revenue is generated from nominal training course fees (118–650 TL plus KDV for various professional and technical courses). Customer segments are three primary personas: IYTE academics and researchers, technology-focused entrepreneurs and startups, and industrialists/manufacturing companies seeking R&D collaboration and technology transfer, all concentrated within the İzmir regional ecosystem.
