Technology transfer centers
The primary function of technology transfer centers (TTC)
is to create links between the worlds of science and business
and to commercialize scientific outputs. They contribute
strongly to the increase in innovation and competitiveness of
enterprises and regional economies.
Their activities are focused on raising awareness about the
research being conducted, acquiring business partners and
commercializing the results of the research work.
They are often attached to academic centers and support
academic entrepreneurship, deal with the universities’
innovation and patent policies as well the matters of
intellectual property (copyrights, property rights). Usually,
Polish TTCs are non-profit organizations.
In mid-2010, 90 technology transfer centers were active
in Poland. Their key partners are enterprises seeking
consultancy and training services, cooperation with the
scientific community, aid in establishing and maintaining
contacts, and technology transfer and commercialization.
The possibilities of undertaking joint efforts with the
scientific community and help in preparing grant applications
are also of high importance.
