More technology offers on the virtual Technology Marketplace
CORDIS, the European Commission's Research & Development Information Service, is strengthening its Technology Marketplace service and offers more examples of best technologies emerging from EU R&D. The latest addition brings more than 30 new exploitable research results for technology transfers from a wide range of countries in the three sections: Business, Science and Society. Users will find simple descriptions and contact details for each offer. Most of the new entries are Business-related including a technology to filter heavy metal from wastewater through sand filters impregnated with special bacteria and a more ecologically friendly hottronic system to run current car engines. In the Society section, a result of particular interest is a visual-gestural language Italian poetry CD-ROM to reinforce awareness and recognition of poetry in sign language. The Technology Marketplace thus helps innovation players to find ideas for new products and to identify latest developments. In addition, users can submit their own results and promote their own new technologies.
