coat-it: our way from academia to industry

In the ideal world, academia produces ideas and proof of concepts while the industry develops and implements them. In reality, communication between both entities is difficult, as it seems we speak different languages. In this talk, we want to show how much we have in common. We describe our ideas and the way we have made our company to be where it is. We introduce coat-it products and services. We share our experience of becoming an entrepreneur and an employer as well. We also indicate links between NOMATEN-related technologies and coat-it.
