Working in a partnership
Many disruptive innovations come from (corporate) startups. Startups require a different approach than a conventional engineering process. Working as one team in a partnership effectuates the most efficient approach! Possibly with a business model in which Bilfinger Tebodin also invests time in the first phase, which is rewarded with an incentive once we have scaled up the technology successfully together. It goes without saying that you will stay owner of the Intellectual Property (IP).
We are looking for opportunities that are:
- new, still under development and not widely implemented or used yet;
- in a development stage as pilot plant or higher;
- technically feasible and commercially marketable;
- sustainable business opportunity;
- supported by a committed team with demonstrated experience in setting up (or failure of) a business.
The process
The partnering process consists of the following steps:
- Fill in our quick scan form, so we understand your opportunity. We perform a quick scan based on the form, advise you on points of attention and determine if we can support you.
