Workshop on Business Models of successful R&D Digital Marketplaces
25th of March 2021, online.

The present workshop, organized under the auspices of the VIMMP EU project, is dedicated to better understanding and exploring the key ingredients and success factors of business models of existing and emerging scientific R&D Marketplace platforms. Participating companies and projects are given the opportunity to present the business models of their marketplace platforms by means of short pitch-like presentations. In addition, there will be an Investor perspective and plenty of time for discussion.
We thus hope that this event will encourage and foster synergies and collaborations between all such marketplace projects or companies, which should present an advantage for all participants involved.
