Meet the Expert x Co-Manufacturing

Working with a third party to manufacture a product can be a good strategy to reduce costs and speed up time-to-market. However, if you're exploring options for co-manufacturing you might run into a lot of questions and picking the right solution for your business can be quite overwhelming.

In this "Meet the Expert" session you'll have the opportunity to get some guidance in the world of co-manufacturing during a general introduction that will be followed by 1-on-1 sessions with the experts of Cibus Nexum where you can ask your individual questions. You will get a 30 minute time slot to discuss the specific topics you are interested in.

You will be able to ask questions such as:
- How do I find the right co-manufacturer?
- What do I need to consider when negotiating the contract with a manufacturer?
- How do I maintain the quality of my production when working with a co-manufacturer?
- Who is responsible for any additional investments that might be needed, e.g. for new equipment?
- What are the potential risks of co-manufacturing?
