What is innovation-as-a-Service?
Embedding innovation into your organisation
What triggers your drive for innovation? And how do you design and invest in appropriate strategies?
We’ve been combining the physical and digital in new ways for over 60 years, creating an environment where innovation can flourish.
Now you can take full advantage of our insights and expertise to save time and effort. Our Innovation-as-a-Service offering provides access to our people, processes and technologies so you can capitalise on our advanced research across multiple sectors and domains.
This collaborative and agile service embeds our Innovation Engine and experts into the heart of your business or organisation. Submit your research ideas with just a call or an email to a dedicated Roke coordinator, and we take care of everything else.
Resource, research, deliver
Our Innovation Engine connects teams across Roke, matching each task to experts with the required skills to validate new thinking. It also assists with scheduling tasks and captures the outcomes.
Every month, customers receive the full-text output from any completed tasks submitted, as well as the INfuse whitepaper: a summary of the outputs from completed tasks that match specified interests.
