Business development for technology-driven start-ups
For technology-driven start-ups, business development goes hand in hand with IPR strategy, and Plougmann Vingtoft’s consultants are experts in merging the two. Our IPR pit stop is a great starting point for firms that are ready to boost their business case and discuss market entry strategy.
