Horizon 2020. HHL Presents Itself as a Research and Practice Partner in New Brochure

[HHL gGmbH - 14.04.2014] In its new Horizon 2020 - Partnership Opportunities brochure (http://www.hhl.de/horizon2020), HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management is presenting itself as a competent research and practice partner for consortiums wishing to apply for EU funding from the Horizon 2020 program. To qualify for funds from eighth "Framework Program for Innovation and Research" of the European Union specific business plans showing how the innovation can be launched on the market and sold to the customers must be submitted in addition to detailed concepts for the development of innovative, sustainable products and services. One key factor crucial for the success of projects funded by the EU and the required applications for funding is the consideration of the whole innovation cycle approach.
HHL showcases its know-how in research and method development within the so-called innovation cycle approach as well for the implementation of findings in complex systems in its new Horizon 2020 - Partnership Opportunities brochure.

HHL Dean Dr. Andreas Pinkwart says, "HHL has developed into an ideal practice and research partner in society's central problem fields of health care, energy, mobility and resource efficiency as well as social and demographic change. In addition to the research projects, we support our partners in all other stages up to the successful launch of the product or service - starting with the market analysis, optimum innovation management, strategy development, the concept for technology transfer and sustainable competitiveness all the way to the preparation of business models and financing concepts."
