INFN TTLab (INFN Technology Transfer Laboratory in Emilia Romagna) is the industrial research laboratory of Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Emilia Romagna. It aims to translate INFN research results and know-how into applications to innovate the industrial sector research of Emilia Romagna.

INFN research and physics experiments requires the development of very advanced technologies. These technologies have high social utility and impact: hadrotherapy and medical diagnostic equipment, cultural heritage, cloud computing and IoT, radioisotope production for the pharmaceutical industry, ionizing radiation detectors and much more.

The INFN TTLab structure is distributed over the regional territory and collects research topic and skills from researchers and technologist located the Emilia-Romagna INFN offices. INFN TTLab has its own technological and instrumental asset. Moreover, INFN TTLab take advantage from facilities located in INFN sites and Laboratory, widening the research potential and achieving an effective balance between centralized and decentralized management.

The laboratory is structured in three operating departments: the Systems, Devices and Nanotechnologies Department, the ICT Department and the Mechatronics and Electronics Department.
