IXA facilitates collaborations

At IXA, business and impact developers and experts in consortium formation and funding work together. In short, specialists who establish collaborations! IXA is therefore the point of contact for anyone interested in collaborating with academic and applied research in Amsterdam. We act as intermediaries and connect companies, non-profit organizations, governments, healthcare institutions, and educational institutions with researchers and research facilities.

Experts in Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)

IXA has extensive experience in facilitating and organizing public-private and public-public partnerships. Our goal is to establish collaborations and consortia that are valuable to all parties involved. This requires an environment where open discussion and information exchange are ensured. Therefore, there are frameworks that respect the interests of all parties involved. These include, for example, making clear agreements about the ownership of research results and the rights to exploitation and publication

Solid agreements and contracts

Successful collaborations start with good agreements. In contract research and contract manufacturing, you determine together with the researcher what output is expected. This includes data, materials, inventories, and reports. You also establish standards together, such as quality standards. You discuss what joint efforts are needed to deliver the required results. Financial and legal agreements are documented, including fees, intellectual property rights, and ownership of applications. IXA has all the expertise to guide this process.
