Ghent University has a robust network of industrial connections facilitated through its Industrial Liaison Network. This network is part of the Industrial Research Fund (IOF) and aims to foster collaboration between the university and industry. Here are some key aspects:

1. IOF-Business Development Centers: These centers are responsible for technology transfer within specific areas of expertise. Each center is headed by a business development manager who acts as the direct point of contact for industrial partnerships, including research, services, collaborative research, or IP licensing¹.

2. IOF Platforms: These platforms combine various research domains to meet the increasing social and economic importance of interdisciplinarity. The IOF platform coordinator is the central point of contact for a specific area of expertise¹.
