Świętokrzyskie Centrum Innowacji i Transferu Technologii Sp. z o.o. (ŚCITT) is a non-profit regional innovation and technology transfer institution founded on December 18, 2001, and headquartered in Kielce, Poland. The company is structured as a Polish limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.) owned 90.83% by Województwo Świętokrzyskie (the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship) and 9.17% by Politechnika Świętokrzyska (Kielce University of Technology).

The organization's core products and services include Enterprise Europe Network international business support (partner search, matchmaking, cross-border technology transfer), production process automation and robotization consulting (analysis, design, implementation, training), professional training and seminars (digital marketing, cybersecurity, AI in business, quality management systems), innovation consulting (technology audits, technology transfer, science-business linkages), and tailored advisory services for SMEs and local government units covering EU funding applications and strategic planning documents. ŚCITT maintains proprietary databases of regional business contacts and monthly cooperation offers, and operates an international B2B meeting capability via the b2match virtual platform.

ŚCITT's revenue model is primarily grant-based: the organization secures and implements EU-funded projects (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund+, Regional Operational Program Świętokrzyskie 2021-2027) that finance its operational costs and the free advisory services delivered to eligible beneficiaries. A secondary fee-for-service stream provides specialized consulting (ISO/BHP/HACCP management systems, technology audits) to entities not eligible for free EU-funded support, with pricing determined through public procurement procedures. Registered share capital is 2,965,000 PLN; revenue is not publicly disclosed. The institution serves approximately 6 staff handling regional SMEs, Jednostki Samorządu Terytorialnego (local government units), and educational institutions across the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, with international reach provided through the EEN pan-European network.
