Our services can all be deployed at various stages of your innovation journey.
Landscaping Services
In the world of innovation, our landscaping services play a pivotal role in our clients' strategic toolkit, empowering them to design competitive strategies and effectively manage the ‘fuzzy front-end’ of innovation. They can be focused upon Technology or Market, or a combination of the two.
Technology or Partner Scouting
This service is designed to identify and appraise technological solutions (and often associated partners) to address a specific challenge or commercial need. It will empower you to explore uncharted territories and discover cutting-edge solutions that go beyond your current capabilities and networks, providing a competitive edge in overcoming innovation challenges.
