The knowledge generated over the years through our R&D activities has given rise to a portfolio of technological assets (knowledge, technological developments, and intellectual property rights). PACKA Ventures is a company builder created by research and technology organizations (RTOs) to transfer these assets to the market.
1. Identification of opportunities
We detect changes and needs in our environment and select those with the greatest potential. To do this, we observe:
– Social demands
– Consumption needs
– Legislative changes
– Environmental requirements
2. Conceptualization (from TRL 1 to TRL 5)
At this stage, we define the solution for the identified need, including the technology to be applied and the validation of the proof of concept at the laboratory level. We respond to specific demands:
– More sustainable packaging materials
– Transport simulation systems
– Devices for detecting the presence of particles
Investment can start since TRL3 and spin-offs are usually created at TRL 4
3. Validation (from TRL 6 to TRL 8)
We validate the solutions developed through prototypes and pilots, as well as the business model in a real environment. The solutions we invest in are mainly based on technologies such as:
– Advanced new materials
– Packaging engineering
– Distribution and traceability systems
– Biotechnology
– Nanotechnology
4. Technology transfer
We support the creation of start-ups with high growth potential to bring disruptive innovations to the market.
