Our Rector Met with Companies Conducting R&D Studies in Technocity

Our Rector Prof. Dr. Reha Metin Alkan, Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Nurcan Baykam, Assoc. Prof. Dr. İrfan Kurtbaş and companies conducting R&D studies in Technocity attended the meeting.

Suggestions, views and advices regarding university-industry cooperations for R&D studies were shared in the meeting.

Our Rector Prof. Dr. Reha Metin Alkan stated that it is the only Technocity Project that is supported by OKA, important investments have been made and support from business world is expected.

Emphasizing that July 15 Coup has revealed the importance of technology, Prof. Dr. Reha Metin Alkan said, “Technocity is of vital importance in that sense. Technocities are the most successful models enabling university-industry cooperations. R&D expenses of the countries with strong economies in the world and their rate on gross domestic product are more than other countries. Universities are one of the most significant institutions having the potential of producing knowledge with their qualified academic staff, technological and scientific infrastructures. Therefore, they play a key role in producing new Technologies and transforming them to products with high added value within the framework of university-industry cooperation. To reach 2023 targets, products with high added value and their export are required. There is a direct link between development level of the countries and technology/science they have produced. So, the Technocities created within the framework of university-industry cooperation become crucial.  Almost 21,5 million for Central Laboratory and Technocity and around 70,2 million for R&D studies were spent since our administration. Our government is providing a growing support and we will also continue supporting all our researchers accordingly.”

Our Rector Prof. Dr. Alkan emphasized that our Technocity is of great importance for Çorum which is an industrial city in terms of enabling R&D studies with high added value and he repeated his offer to the business world for joining our Technocity which will contribute to the industry of Çorum and country.
