METU Teknokent
|
The establishment of ODTÜ TEKNOKENT started at the end of 1980s. With the support of the World Bank, feasibility studies were initiated and examples from around the world, especially form the US and the UK were studied to mold public opinion related with the concept. As a result of these studies, with the goal of founding incubation centers for technology development, ODTU TEKMER was established in collaboration with KOSGEB. The successful outcomes from ODTU Tekmer, reinforced the foundation of a science park (technopark) in ODTU. In 2000, the first building of ODTU TEKNOKENT was put in service and in 2001, Technology Development Zones Law No.4691 that defines the legal framework for technoparks in Turkey was enacted. The infrastructure and know-how presented by ODTU coupled with the tax exemptions and incentives that are provided to the enterprises by this law turned ODTU TEKNOKENT into a center of attraction. The companies that are operating at ODTU TEKNOKENT are involved in R&D activities in software and information technologies (50%), electronics (20%), mechanics and design (15%), medical technologies (6%), energy and environment (6%) and advanced materials, agriculture, food, aviation and space, automotive that account for the remaining 3% altogether. Among some of the R&D projects carried out in ODTU TEKNOKENT can be counted, aircraft/helicopter systems dynamic modeling and simulation, aircraft/helicopter control systems development, satellite systems development, alternative energy and fuel projects, wind and hydro turbine design, vehicle tracking systems, test and measurement systems design, power sources and energy feed systems, lase applications, sensor technologies, tissue and genetics research, e-government, e-commerce, distance education, e-learning and e-education software development, ERP-MRP solutions development, education management systems design, geographical information systems software, formatted message management systems, hospital software, advanced materials research and microelectromechanical systems design and application projects. ODTU TEKNOKENT runs miscellaneous programs for the companies and entrepreneurs that it hosts. Among these are, “New Businesses New Ideas Acceleration Program” and “Animation Technologies and Game Development Center” namely the pre-incubation programs to promote technology-based entrepreneurship; ODTU KOSGEB TEKMER and Technopreneurship Incubation Centers; Accelerator and Investor "Growth Circuit" developed as a financial tool; “ODTÜ Technology Transfer Office” for the commercialization of academic know-how; Defence, ICT and health clusters as a an expeditor of collaboration among companies; and finally liaison offices abroad to pave the way for international cooperation. Owing to the aforementioned services and its activities, ODTÜ TEKNOKENT ranked first for six years, according to the Technology Development Zones Performance Index study of Ministry of Industry and Technology between years 2011-2018, therefore it is the most advanced and one of the most successful technoparks in Turkey.

“ODTU – TTO Technology Transfer Office” is a structure created to support both university-industry collaboration and technology-based entrepreneurship. All processes are managed and executed by ODTÜ TTO on behalf of faculty members both as a financial and an administrative institution until the establishment of the company, from obtaining a patent till the transformation of the academic information produced in the university into an economic value. In addition to these listed above, legal support in terms of sharing the IPR in contracts for university-industry collaborations are also provided by the office. In addition to the technology transfer services, ODTÜ TTO also works as an interface to develop university-industry cooperation, matching researchers carrying out joint projects with the industry and industrial companies to work with the universities.
As of end of 2018, more than 380 national and international applications were realised and out of these 380 more than 200 national and international patents were achieved. ODTU TTO received its first Triadic Patent in 2013 and has 3 Triadic Patents in its portfolio today.
