Context 

Our client has developed a strong innovation activity in order to fuel its transformation. In this context, our client asked us to conduct a deep dive study on waste characterization.

Mission

We carried out a study to define the go-to-market strategy:

  • Market study on megatrends and key forces shaping the industry
  • Competitor benchmark and illustration of corporate-startup partnerships
  • Funding analysis and illustrations of the latest investments
  • Patent volume and key patent filer analysis
  • Technology mapping introducing 5 segmenting criteria for the scope
  • Sourcing of all startups in the field, and scoring them to narrow the list down to highly qualified stones
  • Creating collaboration scenarios with each qualified startup and drafting of fact sheet one-pagers for top-rated partners
