Innovation

SCORA steps in when a technology must become an industrial business: choosing the application and the customer, building the value proposition and the economic equation, then moving from laboratory to production. The common thread: technology, application, customer, value proposition, economics, scale.

From technology to market

• technology readiness and market readiness;
• product-market fit, commercial validation;
• why industrial innovations fail.

Industrialisation and scale-up

• from laboratory to production, pilot unit;
• industrial scale-up, industrial economics, CAPEX.

Circular economy

The circular economy is treated as an industrial and economic subject: circularity must have an economic equation, from raw material to process, product, market, margin and scale.

• valorisation of biomass, waste and co-products;
• industrial symbiosis, circular supply chain;
• circular business models, monetising sustainability, ESG and value creation.

Examples

• RB Process: valorisation of rice co-products, patented extraction process, industrialisation and pre-commercialisation (development lead).
• DOMO Chemicals: innovation and new business development, within the interim mandate linked to the acquisition of Solvay's polyamide 66 business.

Typical deliverables: business case, business plan and financial model, implementation roadmap.
