Improving the competitive edge of companies in the region, creating new jobs and
facilitating contacts between science and business – these are the main goals of the
Torun Technology Park.
It provides well-developed infrastructure adjusted to entrepreneurs’ needs. The Park’s
tenants may use rooms for meetings with contractors, or as training and conference
rooms. All rooms have access to ITC infrastructure and state-of-the art multimedia.
They also use support services in performing tasks related to innovation deployment.
The Torun Technology Park features several consulting points offering professional
help in solving problems and conducting and developing business. The first is the
Enterprise Europe Network which offers free information services (on law, politics
and EU programs) and helps to initiate contacts with foreign partners, acquire
innovative technologies, and facilitate participation in EU framework programs
for research and development. The second is a consulting point which offers free
information services for entrepreneurs and persons wanting to establish their own
company with regard to setting up and conducting business, and includes programs
with a particular emphasis on EU grants. The Park also houses the Regional Financing
Institution, which manages support programs for enterprises operating in the
Kujawy-Pomerania Province.
In 2009, a subsequent stage of the Park’s development was commenced, with
an estimated value of over PLN 50 million. As a result of the investment, in 2013
a modern office and technological building will be operational with a total area of
over 8,200 m 2 . An innovative Data Center will be established providing services in
cloud computing (with a total area of over 2,600 m 2 ). It is estimated that this office
and technological infrastructure will be used by 25 new companies, creating jobs for
over 120 persons.
Today, the Park
boasts 365 promoted
