They do so based on concrete industrial challenges, which is collectively approached and attempted solved through co-pilot test projects, where new technologies and solutions are tested in corporate settings.
The acceleration of the partnerships happens through individually tailored and structured processes, which are supported by innovation specialists and, if relevant, domaine specific engineerings experts. Altogether they target the pre-defined industry challenges to refine and fast-track solutions needed.
