Investment approach
- Thesis
- Innovation does not emerge from the efforts of a single researcher or organization alone. It takes place when researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, corporations, and governments come together, complementing one another’s strengths. Only through such collaboration can research achievements be transformed into real-world applications that generate sustainable value.Source (opens in a new tab)
