Any interested firm or research organisation can use the ‘Connect’ function to engage in facilitated connections with the listed firms from the Be Wiser partner clusters. These connections can provide opportunities not only for firms to network with industry peers across Europe but also provide a platform from which firms can collaborate on a wide range of activities; from the creation of market opportunities to research innovations.
