As a TIER1 automotive supplier the company faces high competition amongst its industry and wanted to ensure innovation without compromising their competitive advantage. Nevertheless, if your idea qualifies for the digital Bootcamp – where you will further develop your concept together with some of the company’s experts- you will get to know the client and all the information needed after signing an NDA.
