Teknopolis Technology Transfer Office

I'm Mesut Yurtcu. I am the project coordinator of the Technology Transfer Office at University of Health Sciences. As Teknopolis Technology Transfer Office, we have accomplished very successful works and started to support our university closely. With our dynamic and experienced team, we provide close support to our valuable academics, students and all staff of our university in all processes from R&D to production. We are trying to increase the awareness of our students and academicians on entrepreneurship issues. In this context, we come together by organizing free events. We organize training programs for our students and academicians, such as project writing training, project execution training, entrepreneurship training, and intellectual property rights awareness training. We bring their projects to the preparatory level by staying in close contact with our academicians and students in writing R&D (Research and Development) projects, in creating the human resources and project budget needed for the execution of these projects. We work together to direct the projects to the appropriate funding institutions and to complete the application processes. We successfully manage the processes of Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights of the developed products through our biotechnology-focused patent office, which is one of the most important projects we carry out within Teknopolis Technology Transfer Office. In addition, we support them in the quality certification process of these products with the quality unit we serve within our office. Another project of ours is the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises for the University of Health Sciences Technology Development Center project, which will bring together the knowledge and experience created in the Medical Design and Production Center, which serves with its invaluable works on the Gülhane Campus, with the entrepreneurs who will serve in the same sector. We are entitled to receive project support from the Support Administration (KOSGEB). In addition, we came together with 21 company representatives serving in this sector for our in-vitro diagnostic, i.e. diagnostic kits project, and received our clustering support within the framework of the international competition development program we received from the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic of Turkey, and our work is currently continuing. In order to pave the way for domestic medical device manufacturers and to support them closely, we are carrying out feasibility studies for a medical device with the project support we received from the Istanbul Development Agency. We have reached the final stage of this project. We invite all entrepreneurs to work together in our Technology Transfer Office within the scope of developing the entrepreneurship culture at our university and developing products that will contribute to the sector economically.
