Scientific & Technical PotentialScientific & Technical Potential

Over 3000 highly-skilled employees: scientists, R&D engineers, technicians, designers, production engineers and workers.

Team includes: 19 members of Ukrainian academy of science, 60 doctors of science and 250 candidates of science.

Modern facilities with developed infrastructure for R&D in materials bonding, special electrometallurgy, surfacing and coating, welded structures, materials tests and characterization, pilot and commercial production.

150,000 sq. m. of office, laboratory and production space with developed infrastructure in downtown Kyiv and nearby industrial area.

Reasons for Reasons for Technopark EmergenceTechnopark Emergence

After 1991 Soviet economy collapsed as integrated industrial,

manufacturing and consuming complex. New economic environment required redirection of our activities from

Soviet to market oriented model in order to: seek new markets; adjust R&D and products to fit the new market requirements

better; commercialize production; develop fundraising sources and opportunities.

It brought us to the idea of establishing of Ukrainian technoparks.

• Provide additional funding for R&D and innovations under circumstances, when there is insufficient funding from the State budget and unfavorable conditions for external sources;

• Improve efficiency of manufacturing processes;

• Enhance products to make them appealing to the consumer;

• Enhance product competitiveness in domestic & world markets.

The Main Objectives of the TechnoparksThe Main Objectives of the Technoparks

Main FeaturesMain Features

Ukrainian technoparks work as innovation centers and may attract innovative business from any company in Ukraine (under the priorities directions of the activities).

The participants (members) of a Technopark can be companies

located on its territory as also ones that work with the Technopark on

a project-by-project basis.

Stringent government monitoring insures company activities

correspond to those at registration.

Ukrainian Legislation Ukrainian Legislation for Technoparksfor Technoparks

Activities of Ukrainian technoparks are based on special legislation, which provide registered innovative projects with 5 years of beneficial economic conditions:– No tax on profit;– No value added tax;– No tax and duties for export-import operations;– No obligatory sales of foreign currency;– Other important benefits.

Taxes not paid to the Government are accumulated in Technopark

special accounts or in accounts of other project-executing

organizations. These funds must be used for innovations and innovative activities

only.

The above-mentioned economic benefits;

Well-developed facilities designed for innovations implementation;

Technopark-industry link provides innovative ideas and production

capacity;

Technopark-industry link provides funding for innovation

implementation;

These joint projects are the short cuts for R&D commercialization

where government financial support is minimal.

+ Provides quick fundraising for R&D and innovations

+ Allows implementation of innovation on a large scale.

- Currently it does not provide for direct support of

business incubation and small business development.

•Problem of destruction and utilization of infected medical wastes (used syringes, gloves, surgery bandages etc.) is relevant for all countries.

•Need for immediate and localized destruction facilities

• Paton Institute develops plasma heating with powerful plasmatrones as a solution.

• Although the Technopark creates new business contacts and attracts some funding, it is not sufficient for such a new innovative project of world-wide importance.

Hazardous medical waste Hazardous medical waste destruction with plasmadestruction with plasma

Provides for:•Fast and complete destruction of the waste at extremely high temperature of plasma (8-10 000 °K)•Fully-controllable, environmentally-clean process in closed chamber.•Reliable and movable equipment affordable even for small hospitals.Requires:•Technical and marketing study •Technology and equipment R&D •Piloting and testing •Practical application and commercialization.

FUNDS AND BUSINESS PARTNERS ARE NEEDED.

Future StepsFuture Steps

• Development of R&D innovative projects, pilot and commercial production in the following areas:
