Innovation Centers in Poland - Portal Innowacji

.
On the average, a single center works
with approximately 90 companies,
mostly local SMEs.
Each TTC formulates around four business plans per year
as well as supporting approximately nine businesses,
co-financed by European and domestic funds. The number
of clients for an average technology transfer center ranges
from 500 to 700 people.
Increasing number of centers aid in starting academic
spin-off firms. Several TTCs have successfully launched
academic entrepreneurship pre-incubation programs.
In total over 100 spin-offs are founded each year around
the country, mostly by undergraduate, postgraduate and
PhD students.
The outlook for the centers’ development is optimistic.
An intensification of European cooperation in innovation
and research as well as in supporting local innovation capabilities
in accordance with respective regional development
strategies is expected. Further development possibilities
for TTCs were opened by the rapidly growing NewConnectshare
market, expansion of which is expected to generate
demand for new projects.
