Technology Sourcing

Looking for your next innovation?

Whether you want to build a new technology platform for your brand, or deliver a line extension for this years launch window, identifying and accessing external innovation could be the answer. At NPD Works, we have used our deep understanding of the product innovation landscape to develop and refine our technology sourcing process:

• How can I be sure my strategic intent will be delivered and is future proofed?
• Robust analysis of category, patent, research and market data, development of specific innovation landscape.

• How do I know we’ve sourced the best technology?
• Exhaustive international technology trawl leading to bespoke, client owned innovation database.

• How do I select the appropriate technology?
• Each technology goes through two screening processes, the first to drive out a shortlist leading to detailed profiling.

• How do I know my target technology is available?
• Shortlisted candidates are approached by NPD Works, with detailed profiling performed under CDA on available technologies.

We’ve used this model successfully on numerous projects, delighting clients with the results of creativity and rigour.
