Strategic Consulting

What emerging client challenges and needs exist? That if addressed, would they develop a unique new business opportunity, or multiply sales in an existing business?

How can a company outperform competitors in a continuously changing environment, identify new market needs, leverage novel technologies and harness collaborations?

How can a business scale up, assuring quality control and efficiency, while maintaining flexibility and an innovative drive?

Finding the right questions is the start of the journey, one which we take together with our clients, sharing risks and thriving with them as we take steps toward the fast-approaching future.

Drawing on our team’s expertise in strategic consulting and management, we provide professional strategic advice to institutions and corporations. We offer a wide array of services adapted to client needs, including market analysis, technology application analysis, or business strategy, operations and planning.

Our Tech Insight service, for instance, provides guidance by helping clients define potential applications and target markets for their technology. This specialized service consists of a case-by-case analysis of the technology’s functionalities, relevant markets and requirements in order for commercialization.

Tech Scouting and Assessment

Leveraging our technical and market expertise in industrial, sustainability and life sciences sectors, we work with corporations and investors to target and screen potential opportunities. We help our clients create shareholder value through open innovation strategies.

A typical scouting process begins by carefully mapping our clients’ technology needs. Then comes the search process. Through local scouts, through framework agreements with R&D institutions, incubators and other likely innovation drivers and through our constant involvement in the community, we strive to find technologies and new products earlier.

The technology proposals are then carefully analyzed by our experienced technology analysts and network of external experts. Finally, we prepare technology resumes of the best technologies. Our resumes are written with a format that provides a to-the-point overview of the key success factors of each technology and product.
