Mektory, the innovation and entrepreneurship centre of the Tallinn University of Technology (TUT), has been officially opened by Estonian president Toomas Hendrik Ilves.
Mektory, which stands for Modern Estonian Knowledge Transfer Organisation For You, has already operating for a year. Alongside stimulating tech transfer from TUT, Mekory also has a 4,450 square metre facility for housing labs, demo centres, and workshop facilities to assist promising projects.
Tea Varrak, head of the Mektory unit, said that the centre will help stimulate the economy and boost Estonian competiveness. She added: “A very important goal of ours is growing the next generation and showing young people that there is nothing odd, remote or boring about engineering.”
