Pro-innovative services

Use the knowledge offered by Wrocław Technology Park experts. By bringing together business and science community in WTP and cooperating with the professionals with highest qualifications, we can effectively conduct pro-innovative services which will effectively contribute to the development of your project.

PRO-INNOVATIVE SERVICES

Market analysis

To complement our customers’ knowledge and provide them with an independent analysis of the environment their companies operate in, we conduct market analysis at their request.

We provide access to databases and conduct market research to evaluate the potential of commercialization of a particular product or service. We conduct analyses of closer and farther business environment as well as possible risks, dangers, profits and losses.

Technology audit

We also support the innovation sector by conducting independent technology audits which provide information on the technological capability of a company.

We analyse which technologies and solutions are used by a company. We also check their certificates, and we verify and analyse the type of their production. It allows us to identify technological processes of the company that need to be improved, the method of improvement and the certificates the company should strive for in order to boost its competitiveness.

Moreover, we verify the employment structure, especially in terms of the proper number of research workers, in order to recommend possible changes which will boost the company’s growth.

Our evaluations identify the company’s capabilities and indicate its needs which are very often invisible from “inside” the business. They allow us to show possible directions of company development for it to be successful on the market due to cutting-edge technology.

Certification and quality testing

The broad range of our innovation development services also includes consulting services related to obtaining certificates and documents required by law or market conditions, and which make the product or service stand out from competitors.

We help to find market niches and quality parameters which are essential to implemented products and services. We also indicate requirements and regulations that need to be fulfilled in order to introduce these products and services into the market, as well as verifiers who verify their compliance. We provide advice on how to prepare documentation which is required when dealing with these verifiers.

Moreover, we extend our cooperation with the partners who are eligible to grant certification. We specialize particularly in certification of products in the food and dietary supplements sector.

Obtaining subsidies

In order to support projects based on innovation, we offer comprehensive consulting services related to obtaining grants and project implementation. We help to choose the most optimal source of funding which will allow to cover your project’s costs. We are familiar with the most recent regional, national and European programmes of development of innovation, technology and business. This enables us to conduct dedicated research of funding sources that are available and appropriate for a specific project.

Our support also includes project analysis in regards to requirements set out by financing institutions, and consulting services throughout the documentation preparation process. We organize trainings and workshops covering such topics as contest documentation and applications writing. We also offer support in project management and preparing the official summary of their implementation.

We show how to gain partners from scientific and business environments, and to make cooperation with them formal, thus create a project consortium. We initiate the building of business relationships particularly with investors and private capital, i.e. venture capital, seed capital and business angels.

Through our activities, we want to provide broad opportunities for project funding, so that they can easily go all the way from being an innovative idea to becoming a high-quality product.

Start-up and incubator of entrepreneurship

We believe the incubation of newly established companies is a particularly important aspect of pro-innovative activities. One of the WTP goals is to create an environment with favourable conditions for establishing and developing small to medium companies.

Under company incubation programme we provide comprehensive support covering different aspects of running your own business, i.e. legal or financial advice as well as trainings and professional workshops.

We provide access to Cloud Services Platform which enables the legal use of company management support software. Moreover, we create potential for promotion of the incubator’s residents – in the news, Internet and social media websites.

By locating your company within our incubators area, you join the group of entrepreneurs who actively create the business environment of the city and the region. All this gives you a chance to develop broader business contacts and promote your services during national and international conferences, as well as at the discussion panels and meetings with investors. You also gain information and contacts to Business Environment Institution.

The aim of all the initiatives which we undertake is to promote the idea of academic entrepreneurship, professional activity of disabled persons and increase self-employment rate in the Lower Silesia region. All our activities are conducted with the focus on innovation and new technologies.

Product testing and analyses

WTP is a place where innovative ideas are converted into market products. Our cutting-edge technology facilities allow us to support R&D sector by, e.g.:

conducting laboratory research within well-known areas, as well as the non-standard ones, as we prepare research formulae individually for each of our customers;
developing research procedures in the form of consulting services related to creating new analytical procedures;
preparing evaluations which include research results to solve even the most complicated technological issues;

What exactly do we do?

LABORATORY RESEARCH

The extensive WTP infrastructure offers a wide opportunity to conduct laboratory research. Available equipment enables studies in different areas, e.g.:

microbiological analyses (e.g. food, feed, cosmetics, household chemicals),
chemical determination of food ingredients (e.g. fatty acids, vitamins, polyphenols),
quantitative and qualitative analyses by means of gas and liquid chromatography (e.g. identification of psychotropic substances),
physiochemical properties determination (e.g. determining the wetting angle, surface tension, viscosity),
research and services within the framework of protein production, macroparticles, molecular biology,
NDT (TK, SEM).

We also conduct non-standard research which we do individually upon request. We like challenges and this is why we specialize in non-standard research (e.g. diversified on the basis of material type or analysed ingredients). This allows us to conduct research which is unavailable on the commercial market.

PREPARATION OF RESEARCH PROCEDURES

In support of R&D sector, we offer comprehensive consulting on preparation of new analytical procedures. We provide support during the whole research procedure or at its particular stage, that being: designing the method, validation, conducting analyses according to the validated method, preparing research report template, employee training.

The highest quality of support is guaranteed by the group of our experts in various fields who, based on their knowledge, develop research methods in such a way that they can be useful in finding new applications and creating new products. We specialize in non-standard and non-typical analyses which are unavailable in commercial laboratories.

It is worth noting that we have a particularly extensive experience in, e.g. dietary supplements research methodologies and determining the vitamin content.

EVALUATIONS WHICH INCLUDE RESEARCH RESULTS

The portfolio of our innovation developing activities also includes conducting evaluations which include laboratory research. The service was created in response to specific technological or technical issues related to, among others, air purity, product defects or problems during production stage where it is essential to find the cause and implement proper preventative measures.

Our evaluations indicate the root and the scope of the problem, but what is more important, they show how to rectify it. They are prepared by experienced specialists, thus we know our recommendations will be extremely helpful.

Our analyses are also an investment in the future of the company or a project. They are conducted by an external team, and they provide additional knowledge which complements the competence of the contracting entities.

It is worth noting that evaluations prepared by an independent institution, in this case WTP, can be used as evidence in legal proceedings.

Tests and technology and production optimization

In the portfolio of our pro-innovative services you can also find tests and technology and production optimization, mostly within the scope of dietary supplements and raw materials for beauty and pharmaceutical industry. Within the frame of orders, we offer opportunity to manufacture products under your own brand.

We also conduct optimization of production processes with the focus on non-standard technologies, e.g. chemical extractions and supercritical CO2, electro-pasteurization, lyophilization, spray drying (including micro-encapsulation), separation (centrifugation, separation on vibrating screens, filtration, ultra-filtration).

Moreover, we prepare documentation for HACCP, GMP, GHP systems and we offer our support in preparing the registration procedure.
