University technological engine room, the erection of which was postponed,
because of financial problems at the end of the 1990.
To achieve our objective, in addition to erection of the Technopark premises
and developing the adjoining land for the statutory activity, it was necessary to
prepare databases on technologies available in the Technopark on ''High Tech''
experts. At first prepared was built a base of the technologies currently offered by
the Silesian Technical University scientists. It is successively complemented with
technologies available in science and research institutions of the region. The
interested people are able to freely access those bases and also to formulate their
needs concerning the technologies searched. The elaboration of the experts base is
at first prepared by scientist of the Silesian Technical University, which enables
making contacts between those searching for new technologies and those who can
offer them.
The first detailed objective of the project was to intensify the technology
transfer from the Silesian Technical University and research and development
units from the Silesian region to small- and medium-sized enterprises by offering
them favorable conditions in the Technopark area (price-attractive premises,
administrative services, business consulting), assistance in access to technologies
and laboratories, finding scientists supporting technology applications in small-and
medium-sized enterprises, as well as the assistance in obtaining financial resources
from the European Union for small- and medium-sized enterprises.
The second detailed objective was to activate incubation and creation of new
innovative enterprises. The potential candidates are: 3,000 graduates from the
Silesian Technical University, 2,000 research workers, also from the vicinity of the
Technopark (5 science and development centers). The innovative activity covers
the current development activities in the fields of: electronics, technologies con-
nected with protective coatings technologies connected with medicine, biotech-
nologies, pro-ecologic technologies, as well as information technologies and
teleinformatics.
The third detailed objective of the project was to create such business activity
conditions which enable to invite worldwide companies representing ''High-Tech''
and promoting them in the Technopark area. It should be stressed that the notion of
Technopark Gliwice will in the future be a certain symbiosis of several subjects
operating in the area of the region and carrying out innovative activity (ARL,
KSSE, technology transfer centers, e.g., in the KOMAG-Gliwice).
The fourth detailed objective was to diversify business activity in the Silesian
region covered by the State programme for mining industry restructuring. The
Gliwice colemine has been closed down with all the consequences. Creation of the
Technopark enables business activity in the area, the more, that the area of closed-
down mine is in the distance of 2 km from the Technopark seat. This is connected
with the ''New Gliwice'' project financed by the PHARE fund and implemented by
the Gliwice borough.
The additional social effect of the project was to assist the development of new
jobs for over 3,000 graduates from the Silesian Technical University. This enables
practical exploitation of ideas and technologies which arise every year in the form
