Innovation consulting for companies How to become independent of projects through your own products.
Innovations contribute one third to economic growth in Germany. With innovative solutions you can win new customers, expand your sales market and strengthen your competitiveness. Many of our customers started out as service providers in the project business and now offer their own products. This made them less dependent on project orders and enabled them to increase sales and margins. Typical tasks in the context of innovation consulting are:
- Generating and evaluating ideas for own products, processes and services
- Market research
- Technical and competitive evaluation of own ideas
- Development of target criteria and functions
- Analysis of property rights and preparation of patents and property rights with your patent attorneys or from our network
- Project planning and project management
- Cost planning
- Financing of the projects, through grants, subsidies, subsidized loans or venture capital
- Accompaniment market entry
We help you to successfully realize your product or technical process innovations and to become more independent from the project business through your own products. We are commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Economics (BMWK) for innovation consulting and authorized in the program go-innovativ.
Practical example small company
A small, medium-sized enterprise (SME) manufactures technical equipment for large companies on a contract basis. In order to become independent of its own clients, the company wants to develop its own product. This is to be sold directly to end customers.
Many questions arise in the process:
- How do you develop in line with the market? In contrast to the previous history, the product is no longer specified.
- How does product development run as efficiently as possible?
- What approaches are being pursued and how are they being evaluated?
- How does innovation management work? How is risk management conducted?
- What are the opportunities for marketing the innovation?
- How is the project financed?
- Is there funding available for the proposed development?
