Functions – What we do and how
Growth Mill – The path to success begins here
Our Growth Mill function helps your company in finding the right partners, acquire the right expertise, get sparring in consortium financing process, hone the value chain and much more.
Growth Mill is the first part of our Runway process – the part where a lot of hard work gets done before you get to the actual development. Maybe you want to know more of the possibilities in global markets, or find someone who knows about something more than anyone else. Maybe you just want to check that your idea holds water. Or maybe you want to find a smaller company to subcontract for you. Whatever the reason, we have the tools for you.
We host Growth Mill events to spread the word, but if you can’t wait for one in your neighborhood, send us some mail.
