Innovational Brokerage Centre

The Innovation Broker Centre is a structural subdivision of the Agency for Innovation and Technology Transfer which aims to facilitate cooperation among research institutions and business partners, particularly SMEs. In Republic of Moldova, the collaboration between research institutions and business enironment is a limited one. On one hand, the business environment is not encouraged in terms of tax incentives to implement the scientific achievements, on the other hand, research activity is not necessarily based on the real needs of the market. Reaching a consensus between the two parties can be achieved through the adjustment to current demand and harmonization of common interests.

Enterprises that face procedural or operational difficulties can contact the Centre for the indentification of feasibile solutions presented by institutions in the field of innovation and science in Republic of Moldova. This collaboration aims to enhance the visibility and accesibility of innovations and acquaint the scientists about the real innovation needs and demand of the business environment. The centre aims to become the place where innovation capacity will turn into successful business.
