RISE & SENAI signed an MoU to continue discussions for a deeper cooperation between the institutes to enable/facilitate innovation projects. The next step will be to define the structure, working methods and framework for the cooperation.

The result of the project/trip was a signed MoU and agreement between RISE and SENAI to take the next step in discussions for a formal cooperation. The next step is expected to be a 6 months prestudy to further develop the cooperation.
