About
Our research team provide multidisciplinary expertise combining systems engineering/thinking with strong capabilities in stakeholder engagement and co-creation, market analysis, and business model development.
Using structured systems engineering methodologies, we help consortia analyze problems holistically, map value chains, define user requirements, and design integrated solutions that address technical, organizational and societal dimensions. We also have vast experience in designing and implementing co-creation processes that actively involve end users, public authorities, industry actors and civil society throughout the project lifecycle. This includes stakeholder mapping, participatory workshops, living labs, user requirement analysis and impact-oriented engagement strategies. In parallel, we deliver market and ecosystem analysis, assessing regulatory frameworks, competitive landscapes, adoption barriers and exploitation opportunities to ensure that project results respond to real needs and have clear pathways to uptake.
