Start-ups and small companies
Cenamps knows that there is nothing routine about creating and running a new high-tech business. Despite the challenges faced, the inherent agility of a small firm often enables it to respond faster to changes and new market opportunities. However, the fact remains that most high-tech start-ups and small businesses fail.
Cenamps is selectively able to support start-ups and small businesses to enhance their probability for success across the key early stages of innovating new concepts through to establishing a new enterprise:
- Investor readiness support : framing your story in a manner most appropriate to an investor audience and aiding links to these investors
- Concept development: The commercial viability of new technologies needs to be carefully understood – both in a commercial and societal context. Cenamps can work with you to explore the potential business opportunities of your technology and seek to identify key societal and consumer drivers and appropriate markets for entry
- Prototyping: R&D funds from government grants and niche regional investors offering proof of concept funds; and access to translational R&D resources, market intelligence, expertise and facilities prototyping development. Cenamps can also provide support for managing collaborative R&D initiatives as well as identifying and involving customers at an early-stage of the innovation cycle
- Prototype to commercial product: Prototypes need to be converted into real products for real customers and manufacturing facilities and capabilities need to be established. Cenamps can be of value in sourcing development funds from government, business angels, lead customers and specialist early-stage venture capitalists.
- Market entry and growth: Cenamps can help your company in the area of business development. We can also help you connect with suppliers, partners and clients nationally and internationally and explore new market opportunities
