A total of 25 start-up companies were founded and over 100 young experts were employed, 25 of them returning from abroad, during the last three years at the Business-Technological Incubator of Technical Faculties (BITF); some of these companies are fully geared towards exports and are on the lists of the fastest growing companies in the international environment.
