development of independent BU’s which over the long term
contribute to the ICBT achieving it’s vision & goals
Application of technology lies within the BU’s, whilst research & development is outsourced via the
BU’s to & from VUT/ICBT
The 1st initiative was utilized as a pilot project and lessons learnt are transferred to future spin out businesses
