VIB’s Business Development team
We strike deals with companies based on a strong patent portfolio and knowledge basis, an active marketing of the know-how, and a flexible, tailor-made approach to negotiating partnerships.
Business Development is not all about commercialization – two-way learning is also an important result. We often gain valuable insights into how to move projects forward from partner companies and organizations.
Jérôme Van Biervliet
