MARKETPLACE TOOL – ABOUT
The Marketplace tool has been structured to serve the specific needs and goals of both businesses and academia. It facilitates funding for the services provided by academia and brings together researchers from academic institutions and professionals from businesses, creating a collaborative platform for knowledge exchange. The tool enables researchers to connect with industry experts, and vice versa, fostering partnerships that can lead to valuable collaborations and joint research projects.
The Marketplace tool serves as an access to expertise.
As academia and business possess distinct expertise and perspectives, our tool allows researchers and businesses to tap into each other’s knowledge and skills, enabling cross-pollination of ideas and innovation. Researchers can gain insights into real-world challenges faced by businesses, while businesses can benefit from academic expertise and research-driven solutions.
What’s more, collaboration between academia and business ensures that research remains relevant to industry needs and societal challenges. By connecting researchers with businesses, our marketplace tool enables them to gain insights into industry trends, requirements, and market demands. This real-world perspective can influence research directions and increase the likelihood of impactful outcomes. On the other hand, businesses can learn from and benefit from the expertise universities offer.
Marketplace Tool as a networking & relationship building platform
