International cooperation
Cooperation with The World Bank
We have a long-term cooperation with the World Bank. For example, we developed the National Guidelines for Technology and Knowledge Transfer for its Croatian office.
These guidelines provide recommendations, actions and practical tips for Centers for Technology Transfer (CTT) and university managers, leading to improved technology and knowledge transfer activities and outcomes. The principles described cover the entire process from idea generation to the management of an existing intellectual property portfolio. The guidance also describes some of the most common issues along with relevant real-life examples. Addressing these specific challenges and issues can significantly improve the impact of technology and knowledge transfer.

On January 1, 2024, the implementation of the new project "Enhancing capacities for technology transfer, company building and innovations in the field of ICT" (abbreviated as CapTTict) was started.
UNICO is a partner of the new CapTTict project, which has been funded within 1st call of the Interreg Danube program of the 2021-2027 programming period.
The project will support technological and knowledge transfer in nine countries - Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Romania and Ukraine. The core of the project is the search for new synergies, cooperation and exchange of experience between innovators in individual countries, while the project will provide supporting services for developing business plans in the field of technology transfer and commercialization. Important part of the project is the creation of an incubation/acceleration program – ICT Danube Digital Accelerator, which will support over 30 promising technologies. At the same time, the project will enable access and interlinks of innovative activities and experts in an international environment through the digital tool EXPERTS.AI. Another important part of the project is mapping the innovation environment in the field of ICT in 4 partner countries outside the EU, while supporting the development of their S3 strategies.
Within the framework of CapTTict implementation, UNICO acts as a partner responsible for the overall coordination of the project, while also using its experience in the field of technology and knowledge transfer. Establishing new contacts and cooperation within the international environment will also be a valuable contribution of the project.
