Roll out your idea!
The development of a business idea is a complex process and depending on the stage of development and the type of business idea (e.g. service or product) different aspects have to be considered. GTL offers you a comprehensive toolbox to support you in the development of your business idea. The different tools are clustered into 3 phases of development and give you guidance and help you find what you need.
