At VARA, we are working with SMEs and research centres across Ireland & the UK providing Innovation Management, Market Engagement, Commercial Feasibility and Business Development support.

Innovation Management
We are often asked – what do you believe innovation is? In simple terms our response is – it’s turning ideas into invoices. Expanding further – Innovation is the successful management and exploitation of change. Innovation in business involves building a culture which proactively supports adapting and changing to achieve a competitive advantage in a constantly evolving external market. Read More.

Or the expertise to develop it exists within a leading research centre. Exploring some form of technology transfer arrangement with the objective of not having to invent or re-invent a wheel in-house to get to market faster with something proven should therefore be considered.
