Advisory
R&D, Innovation & Technology Transfer
Turning research into products, and products into scalable manufacturing.
Overview
What this capability means at OneFit Projects
We partner with universities, start-ups and corporate R&D groups to mature technologies from laboratory to market. Our teams design experiments, build prototypes and pilot plants, protect IP and hand over manufacturable, compliant designs to production.
How we engage
- Scoped studies with fixed deliverables and price
- Turnkey packages delivered with our engineering, quality and digital teams
- Embedded specialists working in your tools and processes
- Retained support under a framework agreement
