Description:
The UK company, established in 2018, comprises of innovation experts who enable organisations to develop and achieve their innovation goals. They have developed an innovative web-based platform which guides its users through the early stages of innovation. The platform delivers an innovation readiness test, producing an automated, benchmarked report which helps develop the users understanding of where there innovation stands. The platform has been designed to enable business support organisations to scale the support they deliver rapidly. Business advisers can work remotely with client organisations as and when the client requires support. The content of the platform has guide notes throughout to enable autonomous work once a client has engaged. Business advisers can maintain light touch support easily over an extended period of time maximising the impact potential they have.
Content is currently focussed on Innovation support. However, content is easily adapted to suit local requirements – language, style, subject, can all be modified to cover any business management process. As a client's confidence grows or they want help with other aspects of their business then the guidance delivered by the business adviser can grow too. Custom content is easy to create so the support a client needs can be delivered.
To support as many innovators as possible the company woul like to work with regional and national business support organisations. The preferred partnership agreement would be a joint-venture, where the client and the business organisation work together in delivering the platform, or a license agreement where the business organisation pays a license fee to the UK company allowing them to use the paltform with their clients.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking for a partner to enter into a joint venture agrement or license agreement to deliver the platform on a national or regional level. The partner would ideally be a national or regional business support organisation, or an organisation delivering support on their behalf, with a network of advisers who work with SME organisations to help them innovate or improve management processes. Full training and demonstration of the platform would be provided.
