Innovation Centers in Poland - Portal Innowacji

.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Improving the effective application of knowledge and
scientific research outputs is an important challenge for
Polish enterprises. Institutions supporting innovative
business by working at the intersection of science
and business are one of the key factors determining
success of the economy. They act as a bridge, facilitating
communication between the worlds of business and
science.
The Polish Agency for Enterprise Development supports
technology parks, incubators and transfer centers on
multiple levels. As a part of the Measure 5.3 of Operational
Program – Innovative Economy and its sister endeavor,
the Measure 1.3 of Operational Program – Development of
Eastern Poland, PARP provides support for the infrastructural
expansion of key science parks and technology incubators
in the country.
In addition to the above, PARP engages in various activities
financed as part of the Operational Program – Human
Capital. One example is the “Effective Environment for
Innovative Business” initiative, which consists of a whole
range of actions designed to support the staff of technology
parks and incubators and technology transfer offices
(innovation centers) in their work (informative meetings,
study visits at home and abroad, handbooks, best practices,
training materials, assistance in formulating development
strategies etc.). PARP’s intention is, first and foremost,
to increase the potential and the competence of these
institutions and to shape favorable institutional conditions
for improving the innovativeness of Polish economy.
