It can be challenging to get the signatures needed to start a bilateral collaboration. In some cases, it only leads to delays, in other cases the whole project must be cancelled.
This webinar provides hands-on advice on how to reduce the risk of such problems. The target group is the Swedish side of existing or potential bilateral innovation collaborations between Sweden and the United States.
This event is organized by Future Mobility in collaboration with GTI and AWA.
