BlogSwissnex Model - inspiration and best practice
swissnex Boston was pleased to welcome two delegations from our German speaking neighboring countries. Philipp Marxgut, Science and Technology Advisor to Austria in Washington DC and Anke Lischeid Science Councilor at the German General Consulate in Boston, invited their respective colleagues Melanie Csida, Stefan Eichberger from Brainpower Austria (located in Vienna), Beatrix Wegner form the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to visit swissnex while staying in Boston. Our guests run similar networks in their home countries and were highly interested to learn more about the unique concept of the private-public partnership that empowers swissnex. We look forward to collaborate with Brainpower Austria as well as with the German Center for Research & Innovation soon to be officially opened in New York.
