Abstract: Abstract Digitalization is a key driver throughout all drivers of change because its emerging and rapidly changing digital technologies lead to new products, services, and/or business models. Actors working in knowledge and technology transfer constantly have to keep up with the latest technological developments and cope with their enormous implications. To face these challenges, a variety of knowledge and technology transfer methods exist. This chapter provides an overview of these methods and illuminates the technology radar method as a potential digital tool for facilitating knowledge and technology transfer. Following the lean approach by Eric Ries, we document the process of the development of the technology radar. We present a web-based technology radar that is accessible to everyone on nearly any device, which encourages collaborative development. User testing with experts in the field of knowledge and technology transfer delivers insights and feedback for the further development of this digital tool. The results are conclusively discussed and then an outlook on the upcoming version of the technology radar, as well as different forms of usage in terms of knowledge and technology transfer, is provided.
