Creativity techniques
In cooperation with our partners, we carry out an extensive creativity process. Initially, we make a pre-selection. We create a short list of exciting ideas in the form of an options report for innovative and market-ready technologies and products.
Technology research
Therefore, each technology and product development should draw from a comprehensive and, if possible, exhaustive overview of state-of-the-art technology and foreseeable trends. We conduct research for our customers and create a technology overview.
Market research
Prior to launching the development of a particular technology or product, it needs to be clarified whether or not there is a realistic chance for economically attractive application. On behalf of our customers, we analyse the market opportunities, foreseeable market developments as well as potentially advantageous cooperations, and create a market overview.
Technology assessment
A thorough choice of technology is of crucial importance for the success of an innovation process. We compare technologies and make evaluations according to the requirements and specifications of our customers, and create a technology evaluation.
Basic and feasibility studies
In the course of innovation processes, specific and often highly complex issues may arise. For instance, in cases where it needs to be clarified if a new product stands a realistic chance of establishing itself on the market. We assume this task by conducting the corresponding basic and feasibility studies.
Economy-related technology research
On behalf of our customers, we carry out technology research. In this regard, our work ranges from theoretical concepts to corresponding practical experiments and test runs.
Product and component development
On the basis of the selected technologies, we perform the requested product and component development for our customers. The result is a finished, market-ready and innovative product.
Prototyping
Manufacturing prototypes and small series can be an integral part of the product and component development process, but also of technology research. We manufacture prototypes and small series for our customers and run the related tests.
Ageing tests, quality control
Proving ageing-resistance is an important criterion in the area of energy technology, since the profitability of products and components also largely depends on ageing-resistance. In our research laboratory we perform the corresponding ageing tests and quality control.
Production transition
A product created on a laboratory scale is often still a long way from industrial manufacturing. We assist our customer in setting up industrial manufacturing facilities.
Technology roadmapping
The method of technology roadmapping has proven its worth for long-term planning of research and development in businesses. We assist our customers in creating their technology roadmaps.
Project and innovation management
Alongside technological excellence, successful innovation processes also require a corresponding project and innovation management. On request we assume the management of the innovation project. We clarify the goals, structure the project schedule, organise the team and monitor the progress and the achievement of the objective.
Support administration
As an additional service for innovation projects, we also assist our customers in requesting and administrating public means for research aid.
