1 Poznań Science and Technology Park as a gateway to knowledge commercialization. Paweł Bartoszek pb@ppnt.poznan.pl

2 About Poznan The city of Poznan is classified as the third strongest centre of scientific research and education in Poland with the number of research workers reaching a 16 thousands, while the number of students - over 140 thousands.

3 Wielkopolska some data Mid west of Poland - Historical region of Poland (Poland s begginings are here) - Wealthy region of Poland, not so much of the EU - Population of 3.4 million - 29,825 sq. km - GDP per capita (2012) Unemployment (2012) 10% - 26 university level schools (8 state universities) - Regional capital Poznań thousand population - Midway between Berlin and Warsaw - Important R&D and economy centre

4 Poznan Science and Technology Park in a nutshell First Science and Technology Park in Poland established in 1995 Independent organisation foundation Founded by two Professors (Chemists) from the Adam Mickiewicz University

5 History of PSTP University Foundation formation Land acquisition (3,1 ha) from gas-work plant and beginning of activity 1996/ Adaptation phase for Park purposes Centre of Chemical Technologies 1999/ First investments Innovation Support Centre 2006 Business Incubator Strategic tenant GRACE R&D centre High Technology Incubators Complex Waste-Klaster

6 PSTP infrastructure - basic data Advanced Chemical Technology Center m 2 Other laboratory facilities m 2 Business InQbator m 2 High Technology Incubators Complex m 2 Total buildings area m 2 Total land area 5,4ha Companies, spin-offs, start-ups ~65 Employees of the companies ~350 Employees of PSTP 130 Turnover (2012) $6,30 mln Profit (2012) $1,25 mln

7 Objectives of PSTP promotion entrepreneurship among young researchers creation entrepreneurship friendly environment for young researchers creation facilities adapted for high technology spin offs /start ups decreasing financial risk of starting new business synergy effects

8 PSTP main activities 1. Research and development services 2. Science economy relations 3. Business entrepreneurship, including supporting and giving space to innovative companies 4. Consulting, information and training services for enterprises and intermediary institutions 5. Cooperation and consultancy connected to construction of strategy and development documents on - innovation policy - research results commercialization - parks activities (on local, regional and domestic level)

9 1.RESEARCH CENTERS

10 Advanced Chemical Technology Center Advanced Chemical Technology Center offering design and facilitate the existing technologies of the synthesis of chemical compounds and solving synthetic, technological and analytical problems for different companies from a chemical sector.

11 Poznan Radiocarbon Laboratory 14C Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory carry out 14C tests with the most modern accelerator technique (AMS). Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory is the first of its type in Central and Eastern Europe. Method 14C is a standard method of dating archaeological and geological formations not older than about years. The recipients are scientific institutions in the field of archeology, art history, geology, geomorphology, paleoclimatology, palaeobotany etc. 14C are also used in biochemistry and food industry.

38 Wielkopolska Centre of Advanced Technologies in Poznań (WCAT) - Multidisciplinary Research Centre and the basis of Technology and Knowledge Transfer

39 Wielkopolska Centre of Advanced Technologies in Poznan (WCAT) - Consortium 5 Poznań State Universities Adam Mickiewicz University, University of Technology, University of Life Sciences, University of Medical Sciences, University of Economics 4 Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Bioorganic Chemistry, Genetics of Plants, Genetics of Man, Molecular Physics, 2 R&D Institutes: Institute of Natural Fibres and Medical Plants Poznan Science and Technology Park City of Poznań

40 The strategic aim of the project is: to establish a multidisciplinary research centre in the domain of high-tech materials, biomaterials and nanomaterials, capitalising on the latest scientific achievements in related fields of chemistry, chemical technology, physics, medicine, biotechnology and agricultural sciences. The Project addresses two main research areas: i) The determination of original selective pathways of chemical and biochemical (agrochemical) synthesis, so-called fine chemicals, ii) A new generation of materials and nano-materials or their precursors and thus the elaboration of advanced technologies, biotechnologies for their production and aplication in optoelectronics, nanoelectronics, ceramics, medicine, agriculture, pharmacology and industrial chemistry.
