Our Methods

Networking

Networking is based on a give and take relationship, be it time, expertise, information; anyone can create and develop a multi-level network, subsequently expanding and strengthen it. Creating a network means the ability to establish a contact while having a clear professional target, generating dialogue, which in turn promotes more contacts nurturing further ties.

Collaborative Working

The advantageous and essential side of this method lies in the opportunity to perceive not the individual but the group as the primary planning entity. Link Innovation Business Network mechanism’ scope of innovation does not merely lie on the informative technology, which is supportive of collaborative activities, but more so on restructuring the entire organizational and sale oriented work flow, from a methodological, operational and technological stand point.

INDUSTRY 4.0

Open Innovation

  • Identify product/process and market technological innovations outside the scope of their organization

  • Incorporate the same within their administrative and operational practices

Network Structure

This structure is conducive to new innovation-focused business models. Sharing strategic activities such as production, research and development, internationalization, training and marketing can, if properly executed, obtain synergic objective unreachable by a single entity.
