WHAT WE DO

We facilitate research, development and design based innovation processes. In order to achieve that, we work alongside our allies developing the necessary infrastructure and processes to support their innovation endeavors.

Our approach is based on stakeholders’ knowledge and capabilities of co-development. We draw on multiple fields such as management, psychology, science, technology and anthropology to collectively find the best answers. This includes providing coaching and support throughout not only the development and design stages, but also during the implementation and refinement phases.

How to make your innovation more attractive to investors, clients and users? We use rigorous research methods to help you develop and refine your idea and turn it into a prototype or proof of concept in order to increase the likelihood of your success

Commercialization of research. You invented something whose market does not exist yet, or is looking for problems to solve. We support you in developing that radically new value proposition as well as its market.

Networking, access to complementary skills and assets. Your invention  may require a novel design, may lack production systems, or even may  not have a value chain altogether. We help you find the right partners who will complement that missing piece of the system you are trying to build, regardless of where  they may be.

Innovation based economic development policy. Novel products, services and business models can help solve the most urgent needs of those at the bottom of the pyramid. However, designing and implementing policies which suit their needs, beliefs, values and cultural norms requires a holistic understanding of physical and social sciences, technology as well as business. Our multidisciplinary teams will help you span the boundaries of these worlds in order to achieve your country’s development requirements.

Innovation networks development. Innovation  requires a complex mix of  Intellectual Property (IP) regimes, seed funding, venture capital, science and technology, as well as entrepreneurs to become a reality. We possess the capabilities, network and expertise to bring all of the above together to develop innovation networks at the regional and national levels.

Prototyping Labs and Technology transfer offices. Research conducted at educational institutions is one of the main sources of  wealth creation. However, transforming a scientific development into an economic success. demands setting up  appropriate processes and infrastructure to support it. Our experience in working with world-class research centers will help your institution launch innovations into the market.

Do you want your organization to develop and grow through innovation? We facilitate and support the development of novel processes, products and business models through research, development and design.

Organizing and setting up the infrastructure for Innovation. Brainstorming and creativity workshops generate a lot of ideas for innovation but … how do you choose among all those ideas? How do you bring them into the market? How do you protect those ideas? Where do you get those ideas from? How do you integrate and develop innovative talent into your team? All these are common challenges faced by organizations which want to become innovative but … where do you start? Our team can provide guidance and support through:
