The collaboration of the ERCIS network with companies and especially with its advisory board creates a dynamic synergy between academia and industry. This partnership allows companies to gain early access to cutting-edge research findings and innovative technologies, enabling them to stay ahead of market trends and enhance their competitive edge. Being part of the advisory board also offers enterprises the opportunity to influence research agendas, ensuring that academic investigations are aligned with real-world business challenges and needs. Additionally, it fosters networking and collaboration opportunities, leading to potential partnerships, talent acquisition, and shared best practices that drive both academic excellence and industry innovation.

In addition the ERCIS has several practice-related competence centers, which serve as crucial hubs that bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application. These competence centers focus on the practical implementation of research findings by collaborating closely with industry partners, ensuring that innovative solutions are not only theoretically sound but also practically viable.
