R&D roadmaps

Need to (re)define your organization’s R&D strategy?
We can help you:

  • Analyse the strategic environment and its evolution, as well as the associated opportunities and challenges,
  • Involve and commit your teams around a shared vision, clear and realistic objectives, and effective action plans.

Our expertise covers both sector roadmaps (driven by public agencies or industry federations) and the deployment of strategies by individual organizations (companies, research centres).

Our strengths: extensive experience in carrying out state-of-the-art studies (technological, as well as political and regulatory) and proven collaborative creation processes.

  • A case in point? The Research and Innovation Roadmap 2030 elaborated for the European Construction Technology Platform (ECTP), to which over 85 people from the sector contributed.

  • Project communication and dissemination: from strategy definition to website creation, webinars, synthesis of project results and organization of large-scale events,
  • Co-design: implementing participative methods to maximize the involvement of all stakeholders, and ensure that the innovation matches real needs,
  • Drawing up a plan for exploiting the results, taking into account regulatory contexts and intellectual property strategies.

Our strengths: modern scientific communication methods such as data visualisation, and close links with industry associations and technology platforms in our target sectors.

Under what conditions will your innovation be profitable?

  • The business plan to estimate financing needs and convince investors,
  • The analysis of the legal and regulatory framework, a source of both constraints and opportunities.

Our strengths: a scientific approach to the evaluation methods we use, and a multi-disciplinary team covering both technical and regulatory aspects.
