MCUTIIC offers a comprehensive service platform for entrepreneurs, providing technical support and guidance, assistance with government project applications, space and equipment support, and industry-academia collaboration.

Vertically, we leverage the expertise of our university’s three major colleges and various research centers, creating a reciprocal relationship between academic knowledge and enterprise productivity. This synergy results in new technologies, innovative products, and highly skilled talent, fostering a virtuous cycle.
By integrating cross-unit R&D resources and deepening industry-academia collaboration, MCUTIIC enhances the capabilities of technology transfer and development, providing diverse guidance to businesses and paving the way for new and innovative companies.
