Also as a novelty, we will try, towards the end of this year, to open, after a waiting period of more than three years, the Business Incubators Programme, through which we will try to bring the university environment closer to the creation of these incubators and, through them, to finance students, graduates, master's and doctoral students to open their companies and to be in these incubators, to incubate their companies. We will also have a grant component," Adrian Panait mentioned at the "Business and Entrepreneurship" conference, organised by Bursa Newspaper.

We also have the technical capacity and expertise to take forward everything we have set out to do," added Adrian Panait.
