Interests for the future

I would like to continue work with and within different cultures, approach people and to bring things ahead.

My professional interests will stay with interface functions, e.g. technical-commercial or technical-financial areas, innovation management and new business creation.

I hope that the Corporate-Spin-Offs.com website contributes to the scientific discussion, helps relating experts from science and practice and raises awareness of the subject.
