2 Mission and Aim of Technopark Gliwice
In Poland, like in other less developed countries there exists an essential devel-
opment brake caused by lack of proven methods of implementing results of sci-
entific research into the economy. In the Silesian region, the need for applications
of scientific research results to the economy seems particularly important. This
results from the fact that region has been developed exactly in the opposite
direction, i.e., in the direction of heavy industries mining and metallurgy. In the
outcome, the delay in ''High-Tech'' seems to be greater than in other parts of
Poland. In addition, the Silesian region belongs to the area of a very big (one of the
biggest in Poland) research and development potential, i.e., a large number of
universities, science and research institutes, research and development centers, and
a big concentration of highly qualified technical staff (7 universities, 5 science and
research institutes, 13 research and development institutes) which so far have
worked for the heavy industries. It is necessary to create conditions which would
enable to direct that massive intellectual potential into proinnovative conditions
and incubation. The Gliwice Technopark is one of the links which enables to
achieve that objective.
The need for innovative technologies is our ''to be or not to be'' of the post-
industrial Silesian region, and the world practice has shown that it is predomi-
nantly realized by small- or medium-sized businesses. The feasibility study has
shown that the Gliwice region is one of the most favorable in terms of business
climate, which is an important factor for potential investors and for opening of new
businesses. The system promoting innovative ideas and creation of new busi-
nesses, predominantly by young people has not been explained so far.
The creation of the ''Technopark Gliwice'' results as an institution which in the
framework of its statutory tasks offers information on new technological
achievements and access to them. The potential beneficiaries of those technologies
(over 4000 per annum) know where to search for new technologies and where to
realize their innovative ideas, as well as how to do it.
Generally, we support three actions:
• Incubation of new technology companies,
• Transfer of innovative technologies to SME,
• Promotion of Enterprise.
