Understand
Market and technology opportunities, trends and risks
We offer a suite of advisory services which help our clients find new opportunities for growth. Our teams of scientists, technologists and business consultants identify and interpret new insights in order to create solutions which anticipate and respond to emerging trends or market threats. We help to drive the future direction of our clients’ businesses.
Market landscaping
Sagentia conducts comprehensive, strategic investigations into the specific markets in which our clients operate. In-depth appraisals of the current landscape, emerging trends, business opportunities and potential threats and the required insight to make informed choices.
Product road mapping
We help our clients develop novel and potentially disruptive product pipelines that will respond to future needs and opportunities.
Stakeholder insight
Novel solutions start with identifying a genuine market need. Our tailored insight programs uncover, often unspoken, needs with an on-market horizon of 3-5 years.
Technology profiling
Sagentia assesses the prevailing technologies available for clients to achieve their goals – whether that’s to support an acquisition decision, broaden capability or build market share.
IP strategy
Protecting your technology investments through a comprehensive Intellectual Property strategy and program is a key part of the innovation process. Understanding where there are gaps in the market can provide programs inputs into your technology strategy.
Partner identification
Sagentia identifies suitable technology partners for co-venture opportunities ranging from informal partnerships through to potential candidates for mergers, licensing and acquisitions.
Solve
Complex science and technology challenges
We identify and solve the upfront science and technology challenges, inventing novel technologies and determining whether or not the product or technology can be developed as intended.
New product concepts
We work with you to generate novel product and service concepts that can be readily tested for technical feasibility and validated with target user groups.
Scientific analysis
We establish the fundamental scientific principles of the product or technology early in the development process to mitigate risk and identify potential issues.
Technical feasibility
We assess the likely strengths and weaknesses of the approach to a product in relation to key requirements such as performance, size, cost, power, specification challenges, and fit with user needs, and identify risks and unknowns.
Overcoming cost challenges
We believe that the issue of end-cost is a fundamental part of the development process and needs to be understood and tackled upfront.
Industrial design
We help you to understand how people interact with your product and then use those insights to inform the actual product deliverables.
Human factors
We prioritize designing the user experience, whether it is a new medical device, consumer or industrial product.
Develop
Breakthrough products and systems
With our teams of scientists and engineers, we can develop truly innovative products to take to market. Our process reduces risk through effective design and verifying the design through proof of principle and prototype activities.
Development process
We have the depth and breadth of understanding to integrate engineering disciplines with science and technology teams to provide unrivaled system design and development capabilities.
Proof of principle
We use proof of principles so that the key technologies of the proposed product, or elements of the product, can be tested for viability and performance.
Detailed design
We use our capabilities across the engineering disciplines including electronic systems design, mechanical systems design and software design.
System architecture
We specify and develop the system architecture using a mixed-discipline team.
Prototypes
We have extensive experience of proving product designs through the production of prototype models.
Technology risk reduction
We help you to understand early on the key technology risks, the nature of those risks and develop strategies to mitigate them.
Deliver
Products better and faster
We help launch your services to market and successfully transfer your products into manufacture. Our manufacturing support is completely agnostic and we have experience working with clients’ existing suppliers or evaluating and entering into new partnerships.
User dedicated prototypes
The understanding of how users interact with a product is often enhanced by allowing users to interact with product concepts. We can broaden the experience beyond passive block models through the production of functional models.
Faster time to market
We analyze and benchmark your processes against industry best practice to enable you to improve your manufacturing processes and potentially significantly reduce product development timeframes.
Transfer to manufacture
We can help you select a suitable manufacturer that meets your needs in the short and long-term.
Technology transfer
We ensure your teams have the correct tuition, documentation and assistance from us.
Manufacturing support
We can help you correctly diagnose manufacturing problems and find a rapid fix without wasting time and materials.
Technologies
Sagentia specializes in solving complex problems by bringing together the fundamentals of science with the pragmatism and application of engineering to create groundbreaking products.
