This allows us to gather genuine feedback and insights from customers who have engaged with the test products.
We named our incubator the "Business Playground" to show that technology transfer can be experimental while being protected from unwanted market effects.
All activities in the Business Playground take place within a defined project context, which we will coordinate with you.

Yes. You are welcome to extend projects in the Business Playground as long as the additional market insights gained seem useful and relevant to you.
