Client Success Stories

InnCat supports a wide range of businesses from start-up/spin-outs to established companies. 

For example, we helped ColorForge identify a clear business case ready for investment pitches. This was achieved through facilitated workshops and benefited from an experienced viewpoint from outside of the company.   InnCat can help companies help themselves by suggesting multiple viewpoints to unlock their thinking.

For AtomiK-AM we facilitated the creation of their strategy which included identifying their cultural attributes and USPs.  We also created their strategic approach to IP protection including current and future technology scanning, IP/literature searching, identification of freedom to operate, and collation of their current IP while working cost/time effectively with patent attorneys.
