Industrial match-making

What does it take to collaborate with the industry and large companies?

West Swedish Incubators invites you to the matchmaking event where  industry representatives and selected startups / SMEs discuss what is required to collaborate and afterwards invite you to separate one-on-one sessions with several industry representatives.

As a startup, you gain insights into several large companies' work with innovation and also an increased understanding of what is required to approach a large company with their associated market.

As a corporate, you get to meet the region's startups that work with new technologies and who are looking for contacts with the industry.
