Mission and Objectives
Wroclaw Tech's Innovation and Business Center connects R&D needs of businesses with scientific potential of academia. Our aim is to promote cooperation between all kinds of business partners – SMEs and large enterprises. We also help finding partners for local business environment organisations and other University units. We manage Wrocław Tech cluster memberships and newly established research centers. IBC is the contact point for all queries related to finding experts from various fields of research, from architecture to medicine, both for private entities and public services like courts. If any given problem exceeds the limits of one field, we create and coordinate interdisciplinary teams and help companies find funding for their R&D projects e.g. from The European Funds for Smart Economy Programme. We also focus on networking by an active participation in various events like business breakfasts, business mixers and so on. We organize them ourselves too, some of them having hundreds of participants from many different countries. We hold ourselves to high standards of professional coordination, acting as intermediaries to bring together all parties interested in driving innovation.
