New technologies with the potential to become radical innovations face difficulties in startups, SMEs and large corporations. Independently of the company size or type, a new technology at the prototype phase needs to be linked to external resources, potential users, testing and piloting facilities and an initial market. This means that a joint innovation process with research institutes and commercial companies is key for accelerating the development and commercialisation of innovations.
