FACILITATING DEVELOPMENT WITH IRCUO TECHNOLOGY CENTRE

The Ircuo Technological centre was established with the aim of improving the position of Slovenian footwear and leather processing industry in the field of development. 

With co-financing from the EU programme Phare 2003 - Consolidation of Technological Centres - we obtained equipment that enables us to:

1. Test various shoemaking materials by different characteristics and in varied conditions

2. Test finished footwear by different characteristics and in varied conditions (heat, cold, humidity)

In addition, we have developed a range of supporting services that attract much interest lately:

1. Coordination of education and training

2. Preparation of claims for gaining intellectual property rights

3. Preparation of documentation for applications to public tenders to various ministries and supporting institutions (Enterprise Fund, Development Fund)

4. Implementation of integrated R&D projects

The listed services represent highly cost-effective means of facilitating the development of Slovenian footwear and leather processing companies.
