The Science and Research Centre Koper
The former Tiepolo-Gravisi Palace remained in its historically unfinished state until the archaeological excavations that began in 1993 and the subsequent renovation carried out as part of the Shared Culture project between 2009 and 2013. The research provided the basis for developing professional guidelines and principles for preserving the most valuable stylistic and architectural elements, ensuring the palace’s protection, renovation, and presentation, as well as determining its current function as the headquarters of the Science and Research Centre Koper.

The Geological Survey of Slovenia
Constructive cooperation between the Geological Survey of Slovenia (GeoZS) and the company Atlantic Droga Kolinska d.o.o. in Rogaška Slatina has been ongoing for over 80 years. As investors, we are satisfied with the results of the research conducted for us by GeoZS. Together, we are preparing to continue geological and geophysical investigations aimed at more precisely determining the geometry of the andesite aquifer and the location of a new borehole for the extraction of Donat Mg mineral water.

The Agricultural Institute of Slovenia
The Technology and Knowledge Transfer Office at the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia provided us with much-needed support in protecting our innovations and working with companies. Through clear explanations of terminology related to patent law and effective cooperation with the TTOs of partner institutions, they also helped us establish collaborations with market partners. The team is professional, approachable, and always ready to assist. I recommend them to every researcher.

National Institute of Biology
BioSistemika has been successfully collaborating with NIB in various fields since the very beginning of its operations. Currently, we are most focused on our project developing technology for storing digital data in DNA. The collaboration gives us access to state-of-the-art laboratories and high-tech equipment, which significantly contributes to the success of our projects.
We have been collaborating with the Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office of the University of Maribor for many years. They helped me with the applications for eight official inventions that are industrially applicable, some of which resulted from successful cooperation with Slovenian companies. The office provided me with financial and professional support in filing patent applications with the competent authorities both domestically and abroad. They also assisted me with the promotion and commercialization of the inventions.

University of Ljubljana
My first contact with the friendly team at the Knowledge Transfer Office was completely accidental and unexpected. Nevertheless, since then they have provided me with strong support both in promoting our innovations and in connecting with potential new partners. In my opinion, they are indispensable for researchers who are not skilled in business contacts and contract work (I undoubtedly count myself among them). Moreover, the encouragement and ideas from the Knowledge Transfer Office never seem to run out. Sometimes this pushed me out of my comfort zone, but on the other hand, it significantly improved the way I perceive and understand the world beyond the safety of the research laboratory.
