With our activities, we have long contributed to the development of collaboration between companies and research institutes, especially universities, with the aim of stimulating development at companies. In cooperation with partners, we have prepared and launched a number of support programmes and activities, such as the “Business Vouchers” programme to support collaboration between companies and research organisations and the “Knowledge Transfer Partnership” pilot programme, which was focused on the transfer of knowledge from universities to companies.

We are members of the following business support networks

• European Business and Innovation Centres Network (EBN) – a network of enterprise and innovation centres at the international level. We meet the quality criteria established by the European Commission, and based on a quality audit by EBN it was given the opportunity to continue using the EC BIC brand in 2021 – “European Community Business & Innovation Centre” – “EU|BIC Certificate”.
