University-Industry Collaboration Centers Platform of Türkiye

University-Industry Cooperation Centres Platform of Türkiye (USIMP) was founded in 2007 as a “civil initiative” motivated by social responsibility, aiming to create awareness of university-industry cooperation/collaboration and technology transfer among all stakeholders.

USIMP has over 140 institutional members (universities, tech-transfer offices, Chambers of Industry, Exporters Unions, NGOs etc.) from different regions of Turkey.

The mission of USIMP is to contribute to the establishment, institutionalization and improvement of quality and performance of university-industry collaboration interface organizations by developing a national culture for cooperation and collaboration, and to contribute to the development of policies and strategies and action plans for effective and efficient implementation of technology transfer practices for proper exploitation of university-based knowledge and technologies for the good of the society.

USIMP organises different activities, develops novel tools with special focus on University-Industry Collaboration / Knowledge Exchange with members & stakeholders and these are usually hosted and/or co-funded by the member organizations.

Particular care is given to create synergies amongst USIMP members and to limit services only to those that cannot be provided individually by any individual member.
