Programme
Mr. Hans Gilliams, Secretary-General and Vice-President, Belgian Association of European Law, Partner Eubelius.
Dr. Ir. Dirk Callaerts, CEO, Eyetronics.

High-tech companies often have to deal with international markets, international customers and international competitors. This is no small task. This module explicitly deals with the issue of international deployment of the technological capabilities of a high-tech venture. Questions addressed are: At what point to 'go international'?; The do's and the don'ts of protecting your knowledge and intellectual property when 'going international'; Commercial models available to you and when to choose one (e.g. licensing models versus product models); What to do if international customers pay for co-development?.

General Theme & Programme
The integrated programme on 'High-Tech Growth Management' confronts topics and issues related to the management of growth within high-tech start-ups that have been successfully launched and are now working hard to develop a sustainable position in the market. This programme provides guiding frameworks and insights that are relevant to handling problems frequently encountered during such a trajectory. Themes include the development of a sustainable business model, internationalisation, research & development, marketing and sales, and organisation & human resource management issues.
