Stimulating innovation in industry
Mouchel TAG stimulates the commercialisation of new technology, focusing on solutions which have been pre-identified as key to the industry. TAG enables industry to realise efficiency improvements through the increased availability of products which are brought to market with the aid of external investment.
In most industries novel technology solutions have the potential to create a positive impact on performance; increasing efficiencies, reducing environmental impact and enabling companies to operate effectively within the regulatory and legislative constraints which may apply.
Industry has a strong track record of investing in research and the early stages of product development. However, many companies are reluctant to invest further, not wishing to deviate from their core business. This provides an opportunity for external investment where a market demand can be identified.
In order to successfully meet the challenges of industry, technology developers need to engage with end-users to better understand and effectively meet their needs. Links to external funding may then be sought for ongoing product commercialisation. Mouchel's TAG facilitates this opportunity.
Industry end-users sit together in a focused consortium which reviews technology propositions. This TAG forum can then provide guidance on the requirements which a technology must meet from technical to delivery and market perspectives. The propositions which are presented to the TAG are pre-screened by Mouchel and, once endorsed they are then supported through the fundraising and commercialisation phases.
Mouchel is active across a number of industry sectors. More information can be found on the following pages:
