CDTI Cervera Technology Transfer Centres

Funds CDTI Cervera Technology Transfer Centres by matching Spanish universities and firms through technology transfer project partnerships.

CDTI Cervera Technology Transfer Centres is a Spanish grant route run by CDTI E.P.E. Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación. It sits inside CDTI's national innovation portfolio and is built around projects carried out with Cervera-accredited technology transfer centres. Awards run from EUR 47,000 to EUR 282,000 on an annual cycle. Applicants must be registered and operating in Spain, and consortium participation is required. The broader call positioning is a matching grant that can reach EUR 500,000 to EUR 3 million and cover up to 75% of costs, so the route is meant to sit inside a larger industrial development plan rather than replace one. The route suits industrial teams that need a technical partner with real transfer capacity rather than a solo research budget. Proposals are strongest when the centre's role is central to the work plan, the industrial use case is concrete, and the collaboration is built around applied development rather than loose advisory support. CDTI uses this kind of instrument to push technology transfer into a form that companies can actually execute against.
