Industry Partnership Unit
Welcome to the Industry Partnership Unit where we create collaboration between the University of Business and Technology and industries. To facilitate this, a program called the Industry Membership Program was created. The Industry Membership Program was designed to promote communication between academia and industries in order to facilitate the transfer of knowledge to industies.
Based on membership fees, this program provides an opportunity for an industry to contribute to academia specifically through research, consultancy, scientific chairs, careers and many other areas of interest.
Members receive a membership package including many services from UBT such as:
- Access to the latest research findings
