Technology Center, an Overview

Experiences from many countries on running a center shows that Business Development Service Centers can help not only the regional development in their surrounding location but also countrywide. Some Business Development Services Centers have also played a significant role in facilitating new enterprises which are producing high quality products with large markets worldwide. It is important to keep in mind that new enterprises mean availability of new jobs, increased tax income for the region and state, and increasing devise in the case of exportable products. Founding the center could be one of the appropriate ways to be involved in the small medium enterprises (SME)development program.

Based on experiences of Business Development Services Centers in many countries so far, new centers should focus on local and regional needs and preferences in particular. Furthermore the management must possess entrepreneurial skills, the tenants have to be carefully and rigorously selected and above all the success depends on interactive community support.

Usually, both the scientific and business community mainly prefer to use services in the fields of product development, training and applied research, there are divergences of opinion on what kind of services the center should offer. The science community could think significantly of a production center, but the industry showed hardly any interest in such a structure.

Life Science will play one of the key roles in people's life in the upcoming century. Research and development in the scientific world as well as in the business community is done on a global level. Research and development in the science field is also extremely expensive and high risk. Consequently, state of the art research in this field is mainly undertaken in Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States of America. These facts are also reflected by the current research programs offered by various government in the world.
