EPIC, in partnership with Yole Développement, provides support to EPIC members to discuss any business or market related topics. Talking with an external person may help to provide a different perspective and to tackle issues from a different angle. Brainstorming with someone who has experience of working with many companies from various sectors can result in approaching issues from a different viewpoint and reflect aspects no previously considered. The interaction takes place over the phone, in confidentiality, and free to EPIC members (non-members may apply at a rate of 550 EUR/hour).
