Brimatech is a market research and consulting company specialising in technology markets. The company facilitates the development of new business fields through specific market research and tailored business development activities. Brimatech is particularly experienced in the space, aviation, bio- and nanotechnology and green technology sector. As a partner in different national and international R&D projects (e.g. SafeLiBatt, NanoAdd, ICARUS-SW) Brimatech is regularly responsible for user involvement, requirements analyses, business models and commercialisation planning. Their large networks stem from the vast number of personal interviews carried out for industry and SMEs in strategic consulting projects, from developing and maintaining industry platforms like www.aeronautics.at, www.spacetechnology.at and www.leichtbauatlas.de, and from innovation policy consulting for national public administration and the OECD. In this context, several publications on factors influencing the success of start-ups and new technologies were published based on case studies of successful and less successful new ventures.
