It is also your task to proactively scout within the research institutions and with external market parties. Together with researchers, you assess research results for commercial opportunities that could lead to spin-offs. You make sure that these spin-offs are realised and properly prepared for investors, in close collaboration with your fellow TTT.AI business developers.

Our offer
With over 6,000 employees, 30,000 students and a budget of more than 600 million euros, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) is an intellectual hub within the Netherlands. Teaching and research at the UvA are conducted within seven faculties: Humanities, Social and Behavioural Sciences, Economics and Business, Law, Science, Medicine and Dentistry. Housed on four city campuses in or near the heart of Amsterdam, where disciplines come together and interact, the faculties have close links with thousands of researchers and hundreds of institutions at home and abroad.
The UvA’s students and employees are independent thinkers, competent rebels who dare to question dogmas and aren’t satisfied with easy answers and standard solutions. To work at the UvA is to work in an independent, creative, innovative and international climate characterised by an open atmosphere and a genuine engagement with the city of Amsterdam and society.
TTT.AI is the RVO-funded Thematic Technology Transfer (TTT) program in AI, in which ten research institutions and the Lumo Labs investment fund have joined forces with a large number of partners. The consortium’s ten research institutions are: University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije Universiteit, Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, Radboud University, Radboudumc, Eindhoven University of Technology and the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science. TTT.AI is primarily focused on the topics of Health Care, Security and Human-Centred AI.
The TTT.AI program is funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy and the Ministry of Education Culture and Science.
You will work in the Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO) of one of the following research institutions: IXA/University of Amsterdam, Utrecht Holdings/ University of Utrecht, Radboud Innovation/ Radboud University or at The Gate as part of Eindhoven University of Technology.
The KTO focuses on valorisation by supporting and stimulating researchers to generate economic and social change with their research results. Academics and staff are supported in protecting their inventions and in that framework, grant licenses to external parties. We regularly set up new companies (spin-offs), often with external parties, from our research institution(s). We do all this with a team of business developers, IP specialists, investment managers and lawyers.
