Modern Technologies in Technopolis

More than ten Kaunas competitive high technology companies together with Kaunas Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, and Kaunas City decided to develop the accumulated scientific and productive potential and to create favourable conditions for local companies in order to cooperate in the technology transfer process. Such results can be achieved with the help of the ERDF through establishing a modern science and technology parkTechnopolis.

The City Economic Development Division is implementing a project "Preparation of Technical Documentation for the Establishment of Technopolis, a Modern Technologies-based Office Village" that will allow to prepare documents for further financing from European Regional Development Fund.

Kaunas is historically known as a city of universities, know-how, precise technology, informatics and industry. Historical experience, qualified university engineers, internationally recognized companies need favourable conditions to cooperate, transfer technology and produce innovative products. It is expected that Technopolis will enhance the cooperation between universities and IT companies providing education function.

The city's geographic position, air, rail, river and road transport infrastructure will also help Technopolis to compete and produce innovative products for the country and the members of the EU. Technopolis will be established with the notion of ecology and economy requirements in the area of 20 hectares. It is expected that modern infrastructure of the science and technology park, recreation zones and buildings will rise the value and provide comfort for the surrounding areas.

Technopolis will unite attempts of private and public enterprises, establish 2500 work places and learning opportunities for university graduates. This park will represent Kaunas in Europe as a centre of high technologies, science, innovations and integrity.
