Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Center was established in Tbilisi State University in December. It was created based on recommendations of the Innovation and Technology Agency of Georgia (GITA) and was created with the support of Governmental grant. The Center unites two main functions 1) Knowledge Transfer Activities, such as having a unified university approach on commercializing IP and 2) Improving entrepreneurial ecosystem in the university through improving supporting facilities and establishing StartUp processes, such as Pre-accelerator and Incubator. The Center has already won the British Council grant Creative Spark with Essex University (UK) and Tbilisi Conservatorium. The Center unites 3 staff and Fabrication Laboratory. During 2019, the center aims to improve its human capacity and attract more grants to reach its objectives. Vision of the Center

Industrial laboratory
Fabrication Laboratory (FabLab) - This is a completely innovative institution in Georgian reality. Its purpose is to promote innovative business ideas and projects in the country.
The Industrial Laboratory, which was opened with the support of Tbilisi City Hall, allows TSU students and all interested citizens to formulate and implement their own business ideas, create prototypes of desired products and take the first steps to start their own Start-Up business.
FabLab TSU - FabLab TSU offers students a unique service that includes consultations with business analysts, meetings with potential investors, working with graphic and special technical personnel.
At the FabLab TSU students have the opportunity to present or draw the desired product drawings on the site; Then the product prototypes can be created free of charge using high-tech and modern equipment.
Equipments and devices in FabLab TSU:
•Epilog Fusion - laser equipment
•3D scanner
•3 dimensional proponents: uPrint 3D
•UV Printer A3 solid, flat surface with ultraviolet light printing/laminating
•Model 150A formation unit
•3 dimensional printer: Dual Extruder
•CNC machine
