Strategic projects
At FBK we are eager to establish long-lasting partnerships with R&I stakeholders and with companies at the regional, national, European, and international levels.
A To be a game changer, we recognise the importance of liaising with key decision makers and contributing to numerous associations and public-private partnerships.
We are involved in large and strategic projects. These long-term, large-scale initiatives have high relevance for the EU and strategic collaboration with the manufacturing industry in hydrogen and battery technologies.
