Knowledge & Opportunity Sharing
Supply & Demand offers partners gathered in the Amsterdam BioMed Cluster Know-who Know-how Directory an easy way of tapping into each others knowledge. By taking advantage of this simple and lean way of accessing the knowledge base across the Cluster, over 70 organisations at a time, your effectiveness of doing business should improve greatly. Please follow the “single sentence question” philosophy!
The ground rules for this free and simple e-mail distribution system:
- You are allowed to write only one sentence and this sentence must be a question, which ensures that e-mails received by everyone are very “light” to read and therefore there is more chance that they will be routinely read, and increases the chance of the tool being used. The more specific the question is the better, as a broad question will be interpreted by people differently and it is likely to result in many “mis-hit” answers.
Examples of questions: - Does anyone have a good contact for technology licensing at X?
- Does anyone know of research projects in area X ?
- Does anyone have any good licensing agents/broker contacts in country X?
- Does anyone have any IP in X as we have some IP we are looking to strengthen or bundle with?
- Does anyone know any NL companies working in X?
- Does anyone know a company who might be interested in being a distribution partner for X?
- Does anyone know any CEO/Chairman candidates who have X?
- Does anyone have any market data or market trend information on X?
- Does anyone know a good market research specialist in X?
- If you know the answer, and are able to share that information, then only reply to the requester and do so privately. This is because only the requester needs to know the answer and no-one else will want unnecessary clutter in their inbox.
- No commercial advertising.
- Any questions posted are public/open to the group, so if you do not feel comfortable disclosing what information or knowledge you seek then do not do so.
- All organisations included in the Amsterdam BioMed Cluster Know-who Know-how Directory are in principle on the receiving end of your message. Do you not want to receive further Supply & Demand questions, please unsubscribe.
- Please realise this is entirely a people based process relying on goodwill. Any follow ups that people may commit to for information/answers may not always be at a pace that you would hope for or expect. Please try to acknowledge all replies you receive.
- Do you wish to take advantage of this service, but you are not included in the Know-who Know-how Directory of the Amsterdam BioMed Cluster yet, please send us your company profile.
