Masterclass Series II
A number of masterclasses will in the future focus on the potential of partnerships which extend beyond a company’s own area of responsibility.
Partnerships with a great potential
Science City Lyngby geographically covers an area with a lot of startups and tech companies, all of which need someone to support them during their growth journey. Therefore, there are also a wealth of offers for both startups and tech companies in the our area – presented by DTU Skylab, DTU Science Park, and Futurebox just to name a few.
But Science City Lyngby also consists of several large companies that want to contribute more actively to the ecosystem. Companies, who are increasingly looking for models to do so from less binding models to the more binding ones. Therefore, we have set out to investigate the various types of partnership models that exist, partly to expose fruitful partnerships and partly to inspire new collaborations and partnerships among Science City Lyngby’s member companies.
Masterclass Series II is a series of independent online webinars, produced by Science City Lyngby in collaboration with relevant partners:
