THE Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP)’s Advanced Technology & Innovation Centre (ATIC) was officially opened at the Technology Park Malaysia, Bukit Jalil by Institute of Technology Petronas (ITPSB) chairman Juniwati Rahmat Hussin recently.
ATIC is established in line with the government’s policy that encourages transfer of knowledge and technology between universities and industries.
It functions as a ‘one-stop centre’ for UTP to provide for the needs of industry and a ‘shop window’ to display UTP’s expertise and facilities worldwide.
The centre was set up at Technology Park Malaysia to support collaboration between the university and external entities such as industry and government agencies.
With the opening of ATIC, the university aims to promote collaboration and establish strategic alliances with the industry, academic and research institutions.
It will provide support to academics and researchers at UTP in dealing with industry and research organisations, transfer knowledge and technology and promote deployment and commercialisation of IP through business collaboration and joint ventures through its commercialisation and IP unit.
