Research & Development Collaboration

You can take full advantage of Sapphire Innovation's research collaboration and research and development networks, particularly if your business has the desire to expand into new markets and accelerate research and development activities (products or services).

"We have built up robust links with leading research bodies and businesses across the UK"

Over the years, we have forged links with many of the UK's key universities and businesses, leading to close cooperation across different market sectors and in various product/service areas.

The links we have established means we now have access to the expertise, equipment and rigorous testing regimes required to thoroughly assess product feasibility, performance improvements, need etc.

Sapphire Innovation has specific experience in new technology fields including, cyber security, green energy, tele medics, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence applications and multiple training platforms, using augmented virtual reality.

There is no fixed format to research and development collaboration and each solution is tailored to the specific needs of the client, with the objective of both maximising the creation of intellectual property and market differentiation, leading to commercial exploitation.

Intellectual thought leadership can drive your research and development programme

Universities across the United Kingdom have vast expertise and knowledge that can be developed for mutual benefit, this is often via a knowledge transfer partnership, academic consultancy or through co-funded PhD research; these are just a few of the possibilities open to organisations wishing to leverage their research and development with intellectual thought leadership.

Collaborative Approach

A collaborative approach has many advantages over traditional transactional engagement. The primary advantage being the development of long term, working relationships with academics that have a deep understanding of the culture and intent of your business. They are better able to analyse both the requirements of the market going forward and engage in the cultural development of your business.

Knowledge Transfer

The Sapphire team has a long history of working with UK universities and industry partners, often using UK Government funding programmes to support innovation and research into specific areas of technology.

We have established solid working relationships with universities across thematic areas such as cyber security, green energy, telemedics, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence applications and multiple training platforms, using augmented virtual reality.

Sapphire also has extensive experience of supply chain management in the manufacturing sector, predominantly in aerospace and automotive industries.

Partnership Opportunities

Sapphire Innovation works with many successful UK based partners which provide investment opportunities within UK-based companies. Partnerships range from structured joint ventures, research and development collaborations, to equity investment.

All suitable partners/companies are audited by Sapphire to ensure that they are both compliant with UK regulations, and thorough market research is carried out prior to any new business ventures being pursued.

Partnership opportunities exist in several thematic areas, for example, high value manufacturing green energy, product recycling, the digital economy, digital remote training platforms, software as a service (SaaS), property acquisition etc.

Market Research

We strongly believe that having good market intelligence minimises risks when making key business decisions about UK investment.

One of the key benefits of using a market research specialist like Sapphire is that you get a complete and holistic view of your potential market before you make any final investment decisions.

We will undertake a series of targeted research activities to help identify key data to help you make informed decisions. This is powerful information to have when developing your manufacturing, sales and marketing approaches.

From very specific research about areas and regions, to identifying funding sources, to customer profiles, or housing environments, Sapphire's research consultants will ensure that no stone is unturned when it comes to helping you make positive decisions.
