NEW: LifetecZONe's Facility Sharing Portal! - 21-08-08
This Lifetec Facility Sharing Portal offers an overview of facilities within the biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, food & nutrition and medical technology sectors. It is developed to improve innovation in small & medium sized entrepreneurs by linking them to those companies that offer to share their facilities. To innovate and to improve their production, small entrepreneurs need expertise, research, test & (test) production facilities, but often do not have the means to finance these. On the other hand, for companies that have invested in specialized equipment, it is an interesting option to spread (under certain conditions) the risks and costs, and to improve the capacity utilization of these costly tools.
