Other than investments, collaboration with an established market player is an excellent opportunity for startups to advance to the next stage, develop a strong network, financial backing, and channels to new customers and markets. SUSE, a global open-source leader, is currently looking to offer startup collaboration, investment, and even M&A opportunities.

From Bosch to the European Space Agency
