Brokerage example - large FMCG company

The large company had a number of unmet technology needs. METRC quickly introduced the company to academics who could potentially meet those needs. Feasibility projects were undertaken which led to long term projects between one university and the company.“We were very happy with the help that METRC provided. Thanks to their hard work we were able to quickly have productive meetings with a number of academics from the major universities of the North of England. We found METRC to be very useful and we would recommend their services to other companies.”, Open Innovation Manager Large FMCG Company .
