• User requirements

We like to talk to the people that will use the product. We identify their needs in every situation that the product must perform. This knowledge allows us to spot opportunities and to broaden the vision of the original product idea. This dialogue continues throughout the project as we return to the end user to validate our ideas.

• Intellectual Property management

IP is not just a patent. It is a strategy to ensure your product reaches its market and retains its competitive advantage. As such it includes approaches to attract finance, negotiate strong partnerships and block competitive developments. Adept and its IP partners can advise on the best approach for your business and integrate it into the product development process.

• Business strategy

We all enjoy working with successful products, developing a sound business strategy gives confidence of that success. We can help to identify potential markets and build your product brand. We can help with the financial analysis; estimating the investment required and the expected product costs. We can provide concept images or prototypes of the product to get market feedback or to show potential clients or investors.

• Business partnerships

Adept can help you get your product into the market through a range of partnership options. These enable you to access our services with minimal expenditure, balancing your investment with your return. In some cases we may buy the IP outright or pay a royalty so that we can manufacture and market the product. Alternatively we can offer contract manufacturing and supply you with a finished product or individual parts.
