"Ever greater synergy:" Rebrand sees three businesses merge to form integrated R&D Consultancy Sagentia Innovation
CAMBRIDGE, England, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Expertise within Science Group's R&D consultancy division is being brought together to form a new consultancy, Sagentia Innovation.
The advisory skills of Oakland Innovation and OTM are set to merge with the product development capabilities of Sagentia, offering clients a fully integrated range of consultancy and R&D services operating as a single entity, Sagentia Innovation, from 12th April 2021.
Uniquely, the new business will allow every project to be viewed through three interconnected lenses – end-user needs, commercial opportunities, and technical feasibility.
Bringing all this expertise to bear from the outset of a project will ensure not only a quicker, more agile route to market but more effective and commercially valuable products.
Paul Wilkins, Sagentia Innovation's Managing Director, said: "Over the last five years we have found ever greater synergy between our advisory and product development work.
"For clients looking to understand how science and technology can impact their business or bring sector-leading digital and physical products to market with speed and precision, a complete end-to-end service makes perfect sense.
"We are confident that the mix of insight and invention the combined business offers will add real value to our clients' innovation strategies, solving their toughest technical challenges, providing products and services which will delight their users."
The new business will have an annual turnover in excess of £30 million and will continue to service international clients across the medical, food and beverage, consumer, industrial systems, chemicals, and energy sectors.
