Abstract

The paper presents a feedback from implementation process of two projects focused on increasing innovation and enhancing technology transfer in advanced manufacturing-oriented organizations in Central Europe. The midterm review enabled to conduct analysis of results and experiences gathered during project realization. The comparative analysis is based on selected criteria.
