Issuing House FIDURA and A. Dubcek University concluded a Cooperation Agreement - The Issuing House FIDURA Capital Consult and the Alexander Dubcek University of Trencin, Slovak Republic, will intensify their colaboration by the industrial use of research results, above all in the areas of Industry Technologies and Mechatronic. The Basic Contract was signed last week. Both contract partners are continuing with their colaboration, which originated within the mutual ‘Feasibility Study’ in 2003 for the client DaimlerChryslerVenture. Against the background of a strong presence of the automotive industry, in the Slovak Republic (VW, Porsche, Kia, Peugeot), and the strong industry-related research at Slovak universities, the cooperation contract is not limited to the awarding of pure research. Moreover it is intended among the parties that there will be a permanent, mutual ‘know-how-transfer’ regarding new technological trends and their industrial use.
