University-Industry Collaboration

Access academic, laboratory and student resources through the Technology Transfer Office.

Free for zone companies

One of the greatest advantages of technopark companies is the strong link that can be built with the nearby university campus. Our Technology Transfer Office finds the academic expertise companies need and manages contract and intellectual property arrangements.

Intellectual property assurance

In every joint project, ownership of outputs, publication rights and patent sharing are determined in writing from the outset. The Technology Transfer Office provides sample contract templates and sets up a framework that protects companies' trade secrets.
