The Innovation Center of the University of Debrecen in the industrial park on Vezér út is ready. The foundation stone of the building was laid on June 9, and is scheduled to be handed over in the spring of 2021. The innovation center will be more than 5,000 square feet of three-story building.
In the industrial park of the University of Debrecen, this will be the first building specifically based on university knowledge, serving both research and industrial needs.
The center, with its spectacular, huge glass facade, will bring together actors from education, research and the private sector.
“The building will primarily be used for incubation activities, but it will also serve as an educational and practical base, where projects from start-up companies will be available from theoretical research to prototype production,” said Chancellor Zoltán Bács to hirek.unideb.hu.
The three-storey Innovation Center, with a floor area of more than five thousand square meters and 85% of the HUF 3.8 billion, will also play a role in serving the companies moving into the science park. The missing implementation part can be adapted to the ground floor “operational” level or to the top “office” floor, depending on the needs of the movers. The middle “open office & meeting rooms” level will be fully prepared for those who want to move in or just want to use one place of work.
A pilot vaccine plant and a vehicle laboratory will be built in the next phase in the Science, Technology and Innovation Park of the University of Debrecen. Archaeological work is already being carried out at the planned site of the latter. The originally 25-hectare university industrial park now awaits 70 hectares of joint investments with knowledge-intensive sectors. Innovative investments are being made in the DE science park, primarily in the healthcare and automotive industries.
