The starting point of Erevnon, a newly established company, has been the fact that many small and medium enterprises as well as public institutions do not have adequate resources to perform their own research and development. However, they all recognise that R&D is extremely important for their success - in whichever specific terms they define success, for example improvement of the competitive position for a private company or better service to the citizen for a public organisation. The objective of Erevnon is to provide its clients with their own outsourced R&D department. As time goes on, the company covers more and more R&D areas (either alone or through selected national and international cooperations).
