Funding agencies, regional governments and society at large have placed high hopes in the combination of scientific research and on-site technology transfer departments that can turn discoveries and research tools into marketable products. Pursuing economic interests while preserving scientific freedom is a delicate balancing act that requires novel instruments in finance, administration and governance. The Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres addressed this challenge with a set of new frameworks: the Helmholtz Validation Funds (HVF) and the Helmholtz Innovation Labs (HIL). MicroTCA is a case in point: Since 2009, DESY has upgraded this standard significantly to provide state-of-the-art LLRF systems for the facilities FLASH and European XFEL. When the technology sparked interest elsewhere, DESY bundled its transfer activities in the HVF project MicroTCA.4 for Industry (2012-2015) and the HIL project MicroTCA Technology Lab (since October 2016). We report on intermediate results achieved by the MicroTCA Technology Lab after seven months of operation.
