ETF Innovation Centre

The concept of the innovation centre has existed since 1925 when the Bell Telephone Laboratories was founded. The innovations developed there had a major impact on the development of telecommunications, electronics and computer science, laying the foundation for the development of many modern technologies. In the spirit of Bell Labs, the ETF Innovation Centre is dedicated to innovation ushering in the future of technology.

What does the Centre do?

The ETF Innovation Centre is a research centre that uses modern technologies to develop new solutions for the improvement of society and industry. Our research work includes detailed problem analysis, proposed solution design, work on experiments under laboratory and real-world conditions, the development of dedicated devices, and data processing algorithms.

The Innovation Centre implements research with a multidisciplinary and practical character, and is applied in biomedical engineering, IT, telecommunications, IoT and other electrical engineering and computing areas. We develop solutions based on modern technologies to resolve specific social, industrial and medical challenges defined in cooperation with partners from science and business fields. Combining different types of data and artificial intelligence, we work on developing systems that serve to improve business processes and the quality of life of individuals.
