Working with multiple clients of various sizes across a variety of industries, IBP has been able to help support many businesses and solve challenges.
But how does it work and what does that look like? We have curated a selection of short examples of how we have enabled business development, with previous clients, and what that experience was like.
How can we help you?
'Pathfinder' the mechanism through which we can align the business needs and the challenges that your organisation is facing with the areas of ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s science, technology and business expertise that are most relevant.
Through scoping, exploration and delivery phases, we’ll connect your organisation with almost four thousand academic experts and a thriving ecosystem of inventors and high-tech start-ups. We’ll identify the ³Ô¹ÏÍø people and teams most relevant to your needs so we can start collaborating for innovation.
Phase one: Scoping is the 'kick-off' stage of a Pathfinder project for our IBP members.
Phase two: During the exploration stage, we all start to get a bit more creative and hands-on.
Phase three: During the delivery stage, work ramps up and different parts of a project come together to help inform the initiatives you can take away, as well as ideas for future activities with ³Ô¹ÏÍø.
