CENTRE FOR INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

What do we do?

Using the knowledge and potential of the people, by deliberate action, we are building a bridge between science and business. We support and coordinate the directions of cooperation between these two areas so that they complement and directly influence the economic development in the field of medicine and health. Our main role is to incubate new business ventures while providing administrative support at all stages of commercialization.

We focus on building the broader collaboration between Polish as well as foreign researchers and entrepreneurs, representing various fields. We cooperate with research centres from around the world. Our capital is the highly regarded scientific researchers conducting work in the area of oncology, neurology, neurodegenerative diseases, biomolecular sciences, cardiology, diabetes, allergy and immunology.

In 2015 we became a part of the Knowledge and Innovation Zone. Together with the Business Incubator and the Office of Science, Strategy and Development, we create an open space, We integrate people operating in the realities of modern technologies.
