Business Model
Due to the increased complexity of physics, life-sciences, materials, electronics, software, etc, the cost of R&D is growing faster than company revenues. The goal of open innovation is to share ideas and efforts, cost and risk of R&D and to reduce the time to market of new product generations. At Holst Centre, partners turn this theory into reality by leveraging each others talent and know-how in a well-structured and professional ‘corporate R&D’-like setting.
Typically, Holst Centre results are shared on a non-exclusive basis between the program partners by customized agreements tuned to the needs and situation of each partner. If appropriate, there is room for a limited amount of exclusive R&D activities with a selected partner.
