We specialise in the evaluation and research of how public and private activities to support innovation and enterprise contribute to economic and social prosperity. This covers various areas under Innovation Policy, including: business formation and growth, access to finance, internationalisation, R&D, the application of knowledge and ideas, and the infrastructure that supports innovation and enterprise.
We work closely with our clients, partners and stakeholders to provide services which commonly cover: economic and policy research, strategy development, mapping research, appraisal, economic impact evaluation, process and economic evaluation. This relates to a wide range of sectors, technology areas, and geographies.
Through our work, we help to inform the solutions designed to tackle and exploit some of the key challenges and opportunities facing society – and develop economies, drive productivity growth, and create a sustainable future.
