Technology transfer to create unexpected opportunities
Successful open innovation requires a streamlined and intensified connection between technology and application owners, understanding both worlds and covering the remaining risks.
Private and institutional research centers created research results and know-how that often is not valorized to its full potential yet. This provides a huge opportunity for open innovation. Verhaert explores these opportunities with you to build new businesses by developing breakthrough products or applications, addressing new markets …
Furthermore application owners, being leading companies or start-ups, often lack insights on technologies available and their potential to create breakthrough innovation in their applications.
