The aim of the activities is to develop partnerships that will accelerate the implementation of innovative solutions developed by university researchers into business practice.
During the program, Lodz University of Technology will present its scientific and technological potential in key areas for the modern economy, such as:
- Biomedical engineering and Health Technologies,
- Mechanical and Material Engineering,
- Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence,
- Civil engineering, Infrastructure and Smart cities,
- Energy, Environmental Engineering and Sustainability.
At the beginning of December, representatives of Lodz University of Technology will take part in the summit of the program in Silicon Valley, including plenary and workshop sessions organized at the world's leading universities – Stanford University, UC Berkeley and at the TripleRing Technologiesinnovation center.
“Participation in the ScalePL initiative is an opportunity for us to draw inspiration from contacts with science and business leaders, learn about best practices in the field of commercialization and protection of intellectual property and exchange experiences conducive to the creation of new projects”
– emphasizes Prof. Krzysztof Jóźwik, Rector of Lodz University of Technology and chairman of the Program Council of Poland in Silicon Valley Center for Science, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
Thanks to participation in the program, Lodz University of Technology will strengthen the promotion of its research and technology in the international environment, as well as gain access to a global network of cooperation with leading research centers and technology companies in the USA. This will open up new development perspectives for researchers, doctoral students and university students.
