A mechanism,
whereby practical knowledge passes from one party to another"

The technology revolution
and the process of globalisation open to the industry and the world
of research new horizons, giving opportunities to discover and develop
new markets. However, such processes become more and more interdisciplinary
and therefore are complicated at the level of realisation.
The role of FUTUREtec
during the realisation process is like that of a catalyst in nature.
E.g. sugar and fire are two energy providers, which are totally independent.
You cannot cause combustion between the two on their own. However, if
you take ash as a catalyst, the result is a combustion which generates
a great deal of energy.
