PARTNERSHIPS - Annual Report SnT

Partnerships

Tech Transfer, Patents and Spin-offs

We are guided by the principle that excellent scientific research can address the most pressing challenges society faces, and support industry in developing solutions. This foundation defines our set-up. We have a partnership model that enables truly collaborative exchanges, allowing us to have access to relevant challenges, real-world data, and systems to test our research results. This approach creates a lively ecosystem that feeds the local talent pool, and supports the local economy.
