Szeged superlaser centre to benefit from HUF 2.5bn incubator
Budapest, March 30 (MTI) – The local council and university of Szeged (SE Hungary) plan to build a 2.5-billion-forint (EUR 8.34m) business incubator in the science park next to a European Union-funded superlaser centre, mayor Laszlo Botka said on Monday.
The companies based in the 5,500 square metre incubator can capitalise on the research conducted at the superlaser centre, Botka said.
Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania won a joint bid for the European Union’s Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) project in 2009. In Hungary, the University of Szeged is hosting the project which is expected to open new avenues to reveal the secrets of matter on ultra-short timescales.
The centre in Szeged is expected to be completed by the end of November, said ELI-HU managing director Lorant Lehrner.
Almost 37 billion forints have been allocated for the first phase of construction, 85 percent from EU funds.
