"The international research environment isn’t just fast-paced, it's competitive, demanding and driven by a voracious appetite to identify and exploit commercial opportunities.

Going it alone is rarely successful or feasible. Today, even the largest universities must work with business leaders and commercial experts to develop pioneering innovations that respond to the needs of business and society.

As such, academics need to be entrepreneurs, research managers need to be expert networkers and university leaders need to be influencers who can shape policy and build strategies that bind inquisitive curiosity with market demand.
‍
This creates challenges for academics and research managers who might not possess the extensive networks required to have the slightest chance of successfully responding to specific funding calls.

Helping university leaders to address this dilemma is the driving force behind Crowdhelix. Our global collaboration platform has been specifically designed to provide individual members with instant access to a global network of over 800 leading universities and businesses."
