ERBS

Ambitious and passionate scientists can valorize their innovative ideas via ERBS. If the idea is expected to be commercially successful, a scientist’s research can be marketed, with ERBS providing support and advice in the areas of: business development, pre-financing, access to a relevant network, drafting a business plan and financial and administrative support.
The innovative research activities will be privatized if there is sufficient turnover and will become a separate BV under the umbrella of Erasmus Enterprise.
