Creating a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship
Regional Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer operates at the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin.

RCIiTT’s main objective is to create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship and the improvement of technology transfer from the research and development sector to the economy.

RCIiTT operates both consulting and training for companies, researchers and university graduates. It is a kind of bridge between the business sector and science. A good choice for young and ambitious people who want to start their own business but do not know where they should start.

Thanks to funding from the European Commission and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, most of the services offered by RCIiTT are free.

RCIiTT also offers access to the Enterprise Europe Network - the world's largest database of trade and technology contacts.

Difficulties encountered

Support such as free work place/office can be treated by the participants as a simple workplace instead of acceleration.
