The interview with Marco Ezendam, Managing Director of Reden BV, is the 4th  of a series of SME testimonials from AENEAS members. Such interviews aim at highlighting the importance of collaborative innovation, including the projects of Eureka Penta and Euripides² Clusters.

In this video, Marco Ezendam stresses the importance of creating an R&D agenda, enabling SMEs to join such collaborative projects. He also highlights that it is essential for an SME to be part of a bigger consortium to speed up innovation, have more manpower, and get guidance to move in the right direction within a project.

“Don’t be afraid to start.  It’s not an angry world, and everybody is willing to help you, and there are a lot of possibilities”, – advises Marco Ezendam, encouraging other SMEs to participate in collaborative R&D projects.
