Benefits for partners

 

International exposure

Making Brilliant grow on an international scale is a benefit to all partner research organisations. Each partner can expose its new technologies to a larger and more international network of entrepreneurial and industrial  stakeholders. Dialogue with a multi diverse audience creates enhanced opportunities towards true and sustainable innovation.

 

Complementarity of expertise

By joining forces within the Brilliant partner network, complimentary technologies can be presented to our members and interested parties in the industry, and sustainability value chains can be completed more easily.
Together we enlarge the window on innovation opportunities and make it more attractive.
