I definitely recommend the services of Business Center also to others in the health care sector, whether they are pushing their innovation forward or looking for an actor to process their innovation into a product. Our own idea was met with great enthusiasm. With its regional network Business Center provided us with more in-depth professional advice to many questions.

The Business Center has been my idea-rich and patient mentor. An entrepreneur often comes face to face with new things that need to be opened up and refined with an experienced professional. The advice provided by the BC expert has always been honest, vigorous and viable. The whole process has been cheerful, sometimes even humorous. What a great combination!

The support and advice of the Business Center’s experts have helped refine and strengthen my business idea. The know-how of the experts is amazing and the help we have received in planning our business has been priceless. Without the contribution of BC’s experts it would have been impossible for me to work on my business idea as efficiently as I have. A brilliant team!

The help we have received has been versatile, concrete, practical and supportive ever since the early stage, starting from the very business basics. With the help of the Business Center we have found the best path to pursue our goals. Surely we would not be where we are now without Business Center, as this is an unfamiliar territory for us.
