Division of Innovations and Technology Transfer
“The Technical University of Košice (TUKE) aims to be a centre of innovation ecosystem, the foundation of which is internationally comparable results of scientific, research and development collaboration with practice. The fulfilment of this aim requires the existence of an institutional platform providing suitable conditions for the emergence of innovation in the broadest sense and their gradual transfer to the industrial and social practice.”
A focal point for these activities is a modern, smart building of the University science park Technicom (UVP Technicom or USP Technicom). UVP Technicom should not only be physical space, but a real ecosystem integrating business, education, science and research. Within UVP Technicom, startups are provided mainly with services and facilities of the TUKE Startup Centre, TUKE Incubator and assistance and consultancy in the field of intellectual property.
“Modern university scientific research centres and faculty laboratories give a chance to every student, staff and people outside the university to fulfil their dreams of a successful professional career.”
