What does it really take to forge a lasting, productive partnership between a global industry player, leading hospitals, and a technical university? Beyond the legal frameworks and signed agreements lies a far more complex reality — one shaped by trust, alignment of ambitions, institutional cultures, and the everyday choices of the people steering these collaborations.
This masterclass draws on first-hand experience from the e/MTIC partnership — a unique strategic alliance between Philips, three hospitals, and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) — to explore what truly makes or breaks such collaborations. Through candid reflection and practical examples, participants will gain insight into the human, organizational, and strategic dimensions that formal frameworks rarely capture.
The experts, the specific content and the informal setting will improve you as a professional.
