Our process

We introduce people and organisations with a technology focus to those with complementary solutions or challenges so that together they can combine their assets to solve problems, create new products or develop access to new markets.  We do it ethically, rigorously, and at all times focus on your bottom line, not ours.

How we do it

Focus: A robust two-way process ensures we get to the heart of the issues. Working with you to fully understand the brief, your IXC Intermediary can concentrate 100% on the issue at hand.

Embedded in the organisation and working alongside your teams on the shop floor, an IXC Intermediary brings additional insight traditional consultancies cannot provide.

Find: IXC Intermediaries interrogate our globe-spanning networks of people, knowledge and organisations. Our Intermediaries' knowledge covers all areas of science and technology, from biotechnology to materials science, making them perfectly placed to assess all potential technologies, ensuring 100% compatibility.

Working closely with our InnovationXchange partners around the world, and our numerous partnership organisations, we have a detailed knowledge of the innovation landscape.

Whether you're looking for a technology solution, commercial partner, licensee or buyer, we find the most appropriate solution for you.

Filter: Our proprietary systems of checks and balances ensure that we rapidly cut to the areas of greatest potential, and ensure that your intellectual property and commercial interests are protected at all times. Our rigorous internal audit mechanisms mean you can be completely confident the solutions we bring you have been scrupulously assessed, both the technology and also the organisation. As well as an expert knowledge of the issues, our in-depth understanding of your organisation means we can ensure the right organisational fit as well as the right technology. We understand what you need from an organisation in order to work with them successfully.

As we work under a strict code of confidentiality, your IP is protected at all times and solutions are brought to the table before your identity is revealed.

Facilitate: Once both parties are introduced, we can either step aside, or stay involved to support the process and maximise the business impact.

An IXC Intermediary is a dedicated resource to be utilised to the best fit for your organisation. An independent, not-for-profit company, we are completely commercially-neutral and take no cut or percentage from deals we facilitate. We achieve the best we possibly can for each and every one of our clients.

Once two parties have agreed to work together, we can either step aside or, our continued involvement can expedite the process and ensure the deal gives you our client maximum benefit and value.
