Creation and Evolution of a Start-up Company in
MST
The company C2V started as a spin-off in Micro Systems
Technology (MST) of the University of Twente's research institute
for nanotechnology MESA+. Twenty years later it is part of Thermo
Fisher, a multinational with an impressive product-market
portfolio. In between is an 'innovation journey', that included
partnerships, mergers, acquisitions and management buy-outs. A
parallel process in these years, was the transformation from MST,
from a radical innovative, to a mainstream technology. Dr. Job
Elders, one of the company's co-founders and now Business Director
at Thermo Scientific, will share his experiences, lessons learnt
and vision on business growth.
Elders
is the author of more than 80 technical papers, business papers and
patents and has chaired, sponsored and presented at several MST
events around the world. He received his Masters degree in
Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of
Amsterdam.
VentureLab Twente is the business
