 NEW TECHNOLOGIES - Examples: Nano, Smart Materials, Sensor and Packaging Technologies

Are you aware of new technologies or techniques which may benefit your business but don't have time to investigate them further?

Why not let Consult-igma help you?

Investigations may be as complex or simple as required - maybe an initial survey of 'what's out there and relevant to your business R&D' - for example 'smart materials and packaging', or a technology watch, which could be followed by a more detailed investigation and help with implementation. Often investigations trigger new business ideas.

If you would like to discuss these ideas further, please call me on 023780 730673 or contact me by E-mail, when I will be delighted to discuss your requirements with you.

SCIENTIFIC ENGAGEMENT & REACH

Scientific engagement, or brokerage on behalf of clients has become a major focus area for Consult-igma.

Scientific engagement may be defined as the development of reciprocal scientific partnerships for the common good, between those seeking external expertise and providers - other companies or universities that have the required expertise or know how to satisfy the particular business needs.

With extensive scientific contacts Consult-igma is ideally positioned to assist with scientific support and to develop scientific engagements on behalf of clients. A major advantage and strength of Consult-igma is our reach through an extensive network of over 500 contacts in the science based community. Within these contacts are over 150 organisations throughout the UK, Europe and to a lesser extent North America. Contacts developed throughout 35 years experience within the scientific and analytical sciences community much of it spent resolving industrial and analytical business needs and development in support of research initiatives and manufacturing.

We have many contacts in major industries, including tobacco and food; within university research departments and leaders in their fields, instrument manufacturers and vendors, science based consultancies and other organisations and learned society’s, including the Royal Society of Chemistry, Chromatographic Society and the Society of Chemical Industry; together with a business network that includes contacts within government, local authorities, agencies, and within business development and support, including local links through Rotary and our own Second Fridays Entrepreneurial and Business Networking Group for Romsey and surrounding areas.

Taken together, these scientific and business contacts represent a vast and valuable knowledge and expertise base both within the scientific and business communities which forms the backbone of our endeavors at Consult-igma providing opportunities and solutions at the business and technology interface.

We will be pleased to discuss your needs without obligation and in complete confidence.
