Kopernik is a technology market-place for promoting products. Kopernik helps to effectively finance innovations and helps to deliver them to the people they were designed for.
Comment:
After the products are put to use, detailed feedback is obtained. This feedback is provided to technology providers enabling them to monitor the impact their product has had on peoples‘ lives and the local environment. The feedback can also be used to identify improvements to existing products and potentially as a way of generating ideas for future innovations.
Kopernik charges a 10% transaction charge on the cost of any products supplied/sold through our site. In order to simplify this process, Kopernik will transfer 90% of such cost (being the cost of products excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, shipping and related charges) to the technology provider.
