Incubating Ideas
>> Field development program
Our experience has shown that the best concepts originate in the field. Working out your solution often requires time in a market to resolve real-world delivery and technical challenges, localization, or a clearer understanding of the transitions: Concept>>Prototype>>Deploy.
Field development funding is made available in conjunction with work currently underway in select markets and awardees will work alongside staff.
>> Commercialization: parallel installations
Crossing this chasm from prototype to financeable solution is often the death knell for new concepts. We resolve this by creating opportunities that allow new systems to operate in parallel with existing technology in live installations. Benchmarking, performance tracking, and field maintenance are often resolved at this stage allowing teams to scale new solutions with bank financing.
>> design grants
Not all concepts are physical; in developing solutions to meet market challenges, select grants are made available for process, technical, and financial design. Along with funding, awardees are provided access to a mentor and business operations teams to ensure solutions can be implemented. Design grants are often award-based and intended to spur competitive idea generation.
