Our Manifesto
“We live in an age of accessible information where we can share, engage, and connect with anyone we like in any way that we want, regardless of location. Nevertheless, when it comes to getting in touch with the brightest minds, thinkers, and academics, startups, businesses are confronted with a time-consuming process characterized by high uncertainty of success and with a limited network.
It’s inconceivable that the smartest people and the most innovative companies are still using the most old-fashioned way of connecting and collaborating. We are convinced that more common and better-facilitated cooperation will lead to better and smarter solutions, faster.
Research has shown that both businesses (including startups) and academics would like to cooperate and interact more. Both sectors recognize the potential and benefits of streamlined collaboration for all involved. But without a solid system, this opportunity remains unseized.
Collabwith believes academic research potential should be open and accessible for use in day-to-day business practices. We are committed to providing businesses and startups better access to the insights and ideas of the brightest academic minds.
Together we break down the barrier between academics, startups and the business world. Innovation has never been so accessible.“
