T2. You already know that your customers need new solutions.

You even know how potentially the new products and solutions could look like!

But there is a long way to go. All the technical research, prototyping, testing….then commercialisation…. You really need to share the risk and costs with partners with complementary expertise and resources. We need specific equipment, knowledge and well, money to manage before we get out of business. So it’s time to find partners.
