OSS bridges the gap between researchers, industry, and SMEs
Large industrial organisations contribute concrete requirements through real-world use cases.
Researchers develop innovative prototypes to address these requirements.
Small and medium-sized software vendors industrialise these innovations, building sustainable business models around products and services adopted by industry.
Research translation made simple
By adhering to the open collaboration best practices, development processes, and intellectual property management practices, researchers gain confidence that their innovations are secure, open, and ready for commercial use. All contributions are licensed under a business-friendly open source license.
The Cometbid Technology Foundation empowers research teams to:
Develop, evolve, and sustain open source projects that encapsulate research outcomes.
Use proven governance and IP management frameworks to ensure code is always ready for research or commercial translation.
