Name change – TECHTRA was established

Under the name TECHTRA Technology Transfer Institute, the Defense Innovation Research Institute continues its activities with renewed responsibilities.

By agreement between the Ministry of Technology and Industry and the Ministry of National Defense, the former Defense Innovation Research Institute (DIRI) will continue its activities with renewed responsibilities under the name TECHTRA Technology Transfer Institute (TECHTRA). DIRI was founded in 2021 under the auspices of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology. The Ministry of Technology and Industry, established in 2022, which exercised ownership rights over the Defense Innovation Research Institute, agreed with the Ministry of National Defense that the organization’s name and scope of responsibilities will also change. Simultaneously with the transformation of the Ministry of Technology and Industry, the decision was made that the Technology Transfer Institute would come under the auspices of the István Széchenyi University Foundation’s Board of Trustees with an asset grant.
