Our R&D Team carries out in-house research while collaborating with researchers from academic arena, In the projects, and in the case of maturing technologies, the R&D Team prepares samples to lead project team. We believe this emphasis on doing our own research and disclosure of the results, rather than relying on the research of others, is a key ingredient in our success, and it is a conviction we share as well.
The benefits of doing in-house research include a greater understanding of the business and the financials in which we invest, a better understanding of the management team and business strategy, and in general a more personal understanding of the factors which contribute to the crucial decisions.
There are many excellent research firms that provide external research, or experts whose opinions are valuable to consult. Though, we believe that the primary research should always be personal, and the expert opinions of others can be consulted as supplementary to that.
