The SCIONS.tech is a Dutch-based startup (currently registered in Delft) that aims to solve that problem by establishing a secure community-based online marketplace platform (web application) that bridges the gap between academy and industry research needs, specifically in high-tech and engineering sector. The Dutch and the South East Asian (ASEAN) markets are the main focus in the first chapter of the business.
On one hand, the platform allows high-tech and engineering universities and individual scholars in the Netherlands and the ASEAN market:
- To share new research ideas and findings in the fields of high-tech and engineering in a secure atmosphere with industry
- To reach out directly to high-tech and engineering industry to offer research solutions for their challenges.
On the other hand, the platform allows practitioners and engineers in high-tech industry or even R&D departments in ASEAN market and the Netherlands:
- To share their research needs to find interested researchers to solve
- To reach out directly to researchers in the fields of high-tech and engineering to solve their research needs.
There are three key customers targeted in the platform:
- High-tech and engineering (technical) universities in the Netherlands and the ASEAN countries (e.g. Malaysia)
- Individual high-tech and engineering researchers in the Netherlands and the ASEAN countries
- High-tech and engineering companies in the Netherlands and the ASEAN countries
SCIONS.tech platform safeguards data privacy for both researchers and industry by establishing non-disclosure agreements and ensuring discussions are recorded, minuted and saved in the Cloud platform as affirmation to data privacy from both parties.
SCIONS.tech aims to bridge the gap between academy and industry in the field of high-tech and engineering by making it easier for both parties to understand each other’s research needs and therefore allows dynamic collaboration between the two.
