OP TAK Operational Program Technologies and Applications for Competitiveness
University technology centre for practise (UTCP) Activity B
Registration number of the project: CZ.01.01.01/04/23_041/0005160

Brief description of the project:

The aim of the project is to build a new open R&I infrastructure in the existing premises of the CPS and equip it with an instrument infrastructure for the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises with innovation potential.

The UTCP project generally aims to increase the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises operating mainly in the Zlín agglomeration carrying out their own research and innovation activities, or start-ups that create innovative products or services based on new technologies or apply them on a pilot basis.

Project objectives and activities

The R&I infrastructure being built in the form of the UTCP is designed as an open infrastructure that targets 3 categories/types of focus, which define both the area of ​​activities, but also already assume the inclusion of specific companies in these categories according to their defined needs.

Specifically, these are the categories of services defined as follows:

Segment I: Environmental innovation.

Segment II: Innovation of raw materials sources.

Segment III: Optimization of materials and processes.

The above-mentioned focuses correspond to the long-term focus of the applicant's R&D work in the field of polymer sciences, manufacturing processes, materials engineering and biotechnology.

The University Technology Center for Practice (UTCP) project – Activity b is co-financed by the European Union.
