For over 20 years, research and innovation commercialization activities, including business, communication, and project management tasks related to knowledge transfer, have been underway at the University of Debrecen, conducted through a system encompassing multiple internal university units and external organizations. The UD Catapult Nonprofit Ltd. joined this continuously developing innovation ecosystem, contributing through its business development activities and corporate relationships to the economic and social utilization of university research and knowledge.
