On January 1st, 2024, the implementation of the new project “Increasing Capacities for Technology Transfer, Company Building, and Innovation in the Field of Information and Communication Technologies” (CapTTict) began, with IEC Tehnopolis as one of the partners.
The project will support technology and knowledge transfer in nine countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Romania, and Ukraine.
The core of the project involves seeking new synergies, collaboration, and exchange of experiences among innovators in each country while providing support for the development of business plans in the field of technology transfer and commercialization.
An important part of the project is the creation of an incubation/acceleration program – ICT Danube Digital Accelerator, which will support over 30 innovative technologies. Simultaneously, the project will enable access to and connection of innovative activities and experts in the international environment through the digital tool EXPERTS.AI.
Another important segment of the project is mapping the innovation environment in the field of information and communication technologies in four partner countries outside the EU, with support for the development of their S3 strategies.
The total value of the project is EUR 2,266,634.40, with IPC Tehnopolis’ budget being EUR 83,282.50. The project will be implemented from January 1st, 2024, to July 1st, 2026. The leading partner is the Czech Technical University in Prague, with a total of 16 partner organizations from 9 European countries involved in the project.
As part of the CapTTict implementation, IPC Tehnopolis will significantly contribute to the realization of activities thanks to its experience in technology and knowledge transfer, experience with incubation programs, and established contacts and collaborations in the international environment.
The CapTTict project is funded under the first call of the Danube Region Program for the period 2021-2027. The Danube Region Program is a European Union instrument promoting cooperation between institutions and organizations in the Danube region.
