FROM IDEA TO INNOVATION 

acib has built up a network of numerous small, middle and large sized industry partners coming from several sectors of industrial biotechnology. Most of them joined the COMET consortium, but – as COMET is temporary and monetary limited – acib also has opportunities for alternate collaboration possibilities. An attractive offer for our stakeholders from industry is the academic partner network, which allows industrial organizations to consume R&D activities from a tailored research expertise portfolio coming from currently 53 scientific partners.

acib AS TARGETED-RESEARCH-HUB 

acib’s position as a targeted-research-hub for industrial biotechnology will be further developed. In combining all partners and networks in a new contractual acib partner network, acib is able to fulfill its mission of connecting the worlds from academia and industry for innovation and science-know-how. Thus acib is a one-stop-shop and ideal partner for Open Innovation.
