The Center for Academic Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer (CPATT) was established to foster business activity among students, doctoral students, and faculty members, and to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between the university and the private sector.

Technology transfer

Technology transfer is the practical application of solutions and research developed by universities. CPATT offers two-pronged support for technology transfer: both for scientists and researchers seeking opportunities to commercialise their research, and for businesses interested in implementing innovations.
