Touching on the activities and future work plan of Alparslan TTO, Dr İçyer emphasises that our academics who want to establish a company and have an attempt to obtain patent and apply for registration can benefit from both our university and other universities from now on. Underlining that an essential activity of the TTO in this context is the bilateral cooperation protocol to be signed with İnönü University Malatya Teknokent, İçyer stresses that with the said protocol, Muş Alparslan University academics would be able to benefit from the Technocity opportunities within İnönü University on equal terms.
