AMC Theatres (American Multi-Cinema), officially known as AMC Entertainment, Inc., is the second largest movie theater chain in North America with 5,325 screens[1] and one of the United States's four national cinema chains (Regal Entertainment Group, National Amusements, Inc. and Cinemark Theaters being the others) of the 12 largest on the continent that did not go bankrupt during the 2001-2002 recession,[2] due in part to the fact that its theatres often dominate lists of the top 50 most profitable theatres in North America.[3] Its mascot is the animated filmstrip Clip who has starred in the pre-show policy trailers from 1991 until a brief hiatus for most of 2009 until the autumn of 2009. While it also has locations in Canada, within the United Kingdom, France, and Hong Kong the chain is known as AMC Cinemas.[4][5][6] Within Spain the chain is known as AMC Cines.[7]
Competence Centre for Cancer Research AS (CCCR)
The aim of the Competence Centre for Cancer Research is to improve the quality of cancer therapy by developing and implementing new diagnostic platforms and offering the pharmaceutical industry new cancer drug candidates.
As the result of the research work undertaken by the CCCR, it will be possible to diagnose tumours at an earlier stage. The focus is on non-invasive diagnostics, meaning that individuals don’t have to be cut into pieces in order to discover whether they are suffering from cancer. Even now, it is possible to assess individual risks in terms of the occurrence of cancer when it comes to certain forms of breast and intestinal cancer.
New generation cancer drug candidates which are more effective, selective and less toxic for other parts of the body are being developed by the centre.
The vast collection of experience and knowledge in medics, bio-technologists and chemists is being pooled in order to create new drug candidates and diagnostic platforms. A majority of those Estonian organisations which are involved in cancer treatment and diagnostics are establishing members and partners in the centre.

OÜ Competence Centre in Electronics, Info- and Communication Technologies ELIKO
ELIKO’s main domains are Smart Space Technologies and Services (SSTS) and Advanced Signal Processing (AST); in other words, sensing and signal processing methods and personalised data communications services.
Sensing and signal processing methods allow information to be collected from a variety of phenomena and processes. The measuring of biological, electro-chemical and mechanical values are studied and developed for this purpose, mostly by determining their electrical impedance. The goal is to improve the reliability of sensor networks in the field of health care, above all; however, the CC also focuses on the service life of batteries and measuring their electric capacitance, and identifying defects in a variety of composite materials and their structures (for example, wind turbine blades).
Personalised data communication services are primarily intended for the users of mobile equipment. Personal museum guide software called “Smartmuseum”, which has been developed for the Research History Museum in Florence within the framework of a project that was launched under the Seventh Framework Programme, serves as a good example. The item will suggest artefacts and select multimedia content to match the wishes and pre-set preferences of a specific user. It is intended to implement similar software solutions in health care, such as in home nursing for patients, for example.
In total, sixteen enterprises are currently participating in the applied research programme.

Competence Centre for Innovative Engineering Production Systems Technology (CCIEPS)
CCIEPS focuses mostly on three research and development domains, their common denominator being the development and implementation of a concept of a plant of the future.
- the development of e-production, and the service life management models and identification of implementation requirements for products, which is based on the distribution chain network and cluster level, and on testing the models in enterprises;
- the development of company-centred automated processes which are based on robot-technical solutions;
- the development of intelligent systems for collecting and analysing the required information from the working environment using sensors, and the adoption of smart decisions which are then communicated to control centres.
The integration of information technology solutions with different industrial and production fields is characteristic of the research projects that have been planned. The outcomes of research will provide the bases for the implementation of new products, increasing productivity and the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies for production purposes. The applications are not limited to mechatronics and the engineering sector, but can be also implemented in food processing, timber and furniture industries.
At the moment, this all includes fifteen well-known enterprises which belong to the engineering and mechatronics consortium. The research partner of the CCIEPS is the Mechanics and Information Technology Department of the Tallinn University of Technology. At the international level, the plans include co-operation ties with a number of international centres. The CCIEPS development projects are linked to the European Manufacture Roadmap development concept.

Competence Centre for Reproductive Medicine and Biology Technology (Repro-CC).
The main domain of Repro-CC is the development of reproductive medicine technologies. The group mostly focuses on diagnostics in infertility and the development of methods of treatment. The results will be implemented in the form of new technologies which will be used for identifying the causes of infertility which are attributable to either males or females, and for improving the efficiency of infertility treatment. At the moment, the accuracy of methods for diagnosing infertility leaves a lot to be desired and the treatment has low efficiency rates.
Another priority domain of the Repro-CC is the development of technologies which are widely used in veterinary medicine (such as livestock breeding), and which are being aimed at improving the efficiency of the breeding of livestock.
Thirteen partners, ten of these being enterprises and three of them universities, are participating in the activities of the Repro-CC.
