Services for companies

 

NSTC assists companies in the commercialization of knowledge and technology. Each company has different challenges that need to be examined from their own background. Science-based startups (high-tech entrepreneurs) are different than large industrial companies. That is why our services portfolio employs a wide range of tools to arrive at viable solutions. Some of these tools are:

• Strategic awareness and learning through intensive market research
• Sector and market definition
• Business and marketing planning and activation
• Introduction of innovation within existing marketing plans
• Courses and specific education modules
• Operational communications using websites and brochures

Companies that have existing or new technologies in the areas of materials or nanotechnology can use NSTC’s strategic and tactical business development services to identify promising applications, channels and markets and to put together the appropriate relationships and business models.

We formulate the business terms and facilitate creation of business relationships with partners and customers. We identify, select and manage new partners, suppliers, collaborations and customers. We also play an active role in the development and execution of R&D, Intellectual Property, application development and commercial contracts.

Using our services, our corporate customers confidently build new businesses in the area of emerging materials and nanotechnology.
