Wrocław Center for Technology Transfer (WCTT)

The Wroclaw Centre for Technology Transfer (WCTT) of Wroclaw University of Science and Technology is the oldest and self-financed unit established in 1995 on the initiative of Professor Jan Koch, as the first such center in Poland. It was created in response to the needs of institutions of the world of science and economy. WCTT mission: COMMERCIALIZATION – commercialization of scientific research results obtained at the Wrocław University of Technology RESEARCH COOPERATION – animation of research and technology cooperation INNOVATION – active support for innovative activity of enterprises WCTT is one of the national leaders in the commercialization of research results, ensuring effective transfer of knowledge and technology to an innovative economy. From the very beginning, the Center has treated the transfer and commercialization of technology as one of the main areas of its activity. As the years passed and the concept of the Third Generation University became more widespread (i.e. combining the three basic functions of a modern university: education, research and commercialization), the implementation of research results into business practice has become increasingly important. The Wroclaw Center for Technology Transfer is the initiator and one of the founders of the nationwide Alliance of Academic Technology Transfer Centers (PACTT), currently grouping over 60 centers from public universities.
