Vision & Mission

  • Vision

    To create a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient society by facilitating the widespread adoption of impactful technologies through innovative licensing models, ensuring that technological advancements contribute to addressing global challenges, such as climate change, public health, and inequality, across Europe and beyond.

  • Mission

    • Facilitate Technology Transfer for Societal Impact: Impact Licensing in Europe aims to bridge the gap between technological innovation and its societal application by providing access to critical technologies for sectors that need them most, especially in underserved regions or during crises.
    • Foster Collaborative Ecosystems: Impact Licensing works to create networks of research institutions, private enterprises, non-profits, and government bodies to collaborate on the development and scaling of technologies that address pressing global issues. This involves ensuring data transparency, promoting open innovation, and creating learning networks for continuous improvement.
    • Enable Access to Critical Technologies: Through impact licensing, the mission is to remove barriers to access for critical technologies, particularly in regions or markets where traditional business models do not provide sufficient incentives for technology adoption, such as low-income areas or in times of crisis.
    • Create Policy and Market Frameworks for Societal Value: By promoting policies that support the adoption and scaling of impact licensing, the mission is to establish a strong, sustainable market framework for innovation that prioritizes social value alongside economic return.
