These actors include economic institutions, as well as administrative, social, cultural, and sports bodies. This is achieved through technical assistance, consultations, studies, training, and activities associated with disseminating applied research results. The centers strive to commercialize these results, contribute to their sale, exploitation, or transformation into subsidiaries, startups, or micro-enterprises. The ultimate goal is to make these resources available to economic institutions, administrative bodies, or any other entities interested in benefiting from them, thereby facilitating the integration of university and higher education center graduates into the development cycle at both local and national levels.
