London, 20 May 2016: Kolabtree, the London-based on-demand platform offering access to qualified scientific professionals, today announced the successful completion of its beta program. As the first platform to harness the growing global pool of scientific experts, it allows businesses and investigación groups to connect instantly with a diverse pool of freelancers, most of whom are PhDs.
"El mundo académico puede ser inaccesible para muchas empresas", afirma Ashmita Das, cofundadora de Kolabtree. "Los esfuerzos para fomentar la colaboración entre el mundo académico y la industria sirven principalmente a las corporaciones que pueden financiar esos programas. Nos gustaría que Kolabtree facilitara incluso a las pequeñas empresas y organizaciones la colaboración con científicos y otros expertos de alto nivel."
Kolabtree lies at the center of several ongoing trends. Businesses large and small require advanced expertise and outside knowledge to support digital and non-technical innovation. Even as stakeholders engaged in social problems like climate change, food production, and salud are increasingly looking at instant access to specialist expertise, research budgets have flattened or shrunk in many Western countries, leading to an expanding workforce of highly trained scientific professionals. Kolabtree’s mission is democratize access to scientific talent by helping business and industry tap into this talent pool without incurring the heavy costs of recruiting, retaining, and training.
El programa beta de Kolabtree produjo varias historias de éxito, ya sea de una ONG que contrató a un posdoctorado para recopilar bibliografía sobre una enfermedad rara o de un empresario que buscó un científico de datos para detectar tendencias en las ventas diarias de productos. Una prueba de la demanda de una plataforma de este tipo son los más de 2.000 usuarios que se inscribieron en Kolabtree como autónomos. Arrojando más luz sobre esto, Aaheli Roy Choudhary, un freelance de Kolabtree, dice: "Kolabtree ofrece una plataforma sólida para los científicos que pasan de la investigación activa a la escritura académica y la consultoría".
