The challenge: External stakeholders such as industrial companies or start-ups are usually not familiar with the ZHAW's performance mandate and organizational structure. Therefore, these stakeholders often have a lack of information regarding possible forms of collaboration, available R&D and service offerings, as well as suitable contact persons.The solution: The goal of the project "The ZHAW Partner Guide" is to develop an intelligent navigator that shows these potential partners suitable collaboration models in a targeted and user-oriented manner. The tangible result is a proof-of-concept based on the "Innosuisse Guide" (www.innosuisse.guide) with initial use cases from the areas of R&D and services, including a generalization concept.
