Is your team small, budget scarce, product still immature? Are your own resources reaching their limit? In the early phase of a company startup or product development, we’ll help you to look beyond your own nose, so to speak. There is often a lack of management experience, textile technology skills, new cooperation partners, and information about funding opportunities and barriers to market entry. We’ll come to your company and provide the know-how you’re missing.
We consider ourselves a link between the worlds of science and business!
