Proudly ranked No.1 in Europe by iF Design
We are incredibly proud to have maintained our top spot as the leading consultancy in Europe for next-generation product concepts, whilst also ranking no.2 worldwide. This recognition reinforces our unique approach to innovation, where we bridge complex engineering and science with real user needs.
Our success stems from a relentless commitment to applying human-centered design to deep technology, ensuring tomorrow’s breakthroughs are as intuitive as they are revolutionary.
It’s time to get the future you want — with the power of deep tech
Ambitious clients collaborate with us to create new-to-the-world technologies, services and products that have never been seen before.
Our unique combination of technical, commercial and market expertise yields market-leading solutions that are hard to copy. This creates valuable intellectual property that generates protectable long-term value.
From aerospace to agritech, consumer to industry, communications to healthcare, our knowledge of one sector can often be applied to another to create new breakthroughs.
We focus on our clients’ success and we are trusted as integral partners in the future of their businesses.
Our work led to the most densely packed cellular network in the world – orchestrating swarms of bots across highly automated warehouses. It produced the Bluetooth chip that connects your phone to your car and the latest satellite technology that lets people in remote locations across the world keep in touch.
In the early 2000s we expanded operations with offices in the US and Asia and transformed ourselves into one of the world's most capable deep tech innovation companies. We are now part of Capgemini – one of the world’s largest technology consultancy firms.
Our services
Innovation strategy
We can provide insight into how technology will disrupt a market and provide clients with an innovation roadmap to transform their business. We’ve developed processes and tools that minimise the time to create breakthrough ideas, allowing our clients to stand out in their markets.
Concept feasibility
Market-leading breakthroughs don’t happen by accident. We apply a combination of creativity and science-led design to ensure products and services reach their full potential. Our robust feasibility analysis establishes what’s possible, minimises risk and provides greater budget and timescale confidence.
Product development
Once a design is agreed, every day it’s not on the market is a day of lost revenue. We’ve honed our development, test, production and supply chain processes to provide fast and reliable project realisation.
Support and operational service
The development of a new product or service is just the start of its life. We provide comprehensive support for new product introduction to minimise problems during launch – and then help our clients plan its ongoing evolution and enhancement throughout the lifecycle.
How we work
 |
End-to-end serviceWe provide end-to-end support. Wherever you are in your development journey, we can help – from front-end strategy, through design and development, to post-launch support and enhancement. |
 |
Trusted partnersWe work on a ‘fee for service’ basis and provide an ever-ready, on-demand capability – working as an extension of our clients’ own team. We take full responsibility for project delivery to achieve successful outcomes for our clients. |
 |
Complete deliveryOur goal is for our clients to grow as a result of using our services. So we don’t look to retain ownership of the output of our projects. Instead, we typically assign all intellectual property, designs and regulatory documentation to our clients. |
