12 There are 6 accredited and certified science laboratories KTU INFRASCTRUCTURE KTU is a founding partner of two integrated science, study, and business valleys (Santaka and Nemunas) KTU Library stores and continuously replenishes one of the richest collections on science, technology and engineering, providing access to e-resources. University subscribes to 48 international databases provided by 22 services

13 February 2012 Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and Aalto Centre for Entrepreneurship (ACE, Finland) signed a memorandum, providing the basis for the establishment of KTU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre (KTU IEC). Past successes in cooperating with Lithuanian and foreign companies prompted to adapt best practices to expand centre's activities. KTU Strategic PARTNERSHIPS Following the signing of a joint venture agreement in February 2014 by Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS), and Lithuanian Energy Institute (LEI), KTU IEC was renamed to National Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre (NIEC).
