Embracing cross-sectoral Collaboration

Collaboration between Engineering and Natural Sciences as Illustrated by a robotic hand holding a bellpepper

Sectoral partnership. The active involvement of (small and medium-sized) commercial enterprises in research activities is a key factor for Europe's development as a most competitive knowledge-driven and innovation-based society. Vienna Scientific Instruments fully commit to the Triple Helix concept of university-industry-government relationships - illustrating the necessary shift from a industry-government dyad in the Industrial Society to a growing triadic relationship between university-industry-government in a sustainable Knowledge Society. Vienna Scientific Instruments fully embracing cross sectoral collaboration - get in contact to discuss teaming up.
