Concept to Market has been operating successfully since 2001, when it was first established as McLean & Associates Ltd. The company was initially focused on market entry planning and channels to market for technology companies looking to grow and prosper in new markets. Now 7 years old, that core focus remains, but is complemented by additional services that draw on related areas of expertise and experience.
Today we provide support in 3 related areas. We find that many of our clients require help across a mixture of these, depending on their prior experience, the resources available, their current state of development and the extent and nature of their longer term plans for their business: 1. IP valuation, market research, market entry planning, sales and marketing expertise, channels to market including licensing agreements - with an eye on IP protection 2. Organisational structure, identifying skill / expertise gaps, dealing with growth pains, business model testing, investment funding, grants, business case development, risk assessment and contingency planning, project management 3. Technology assessment, validation and commercialisation, development pathways, management of technical teams involved in technology development and the commercialisation of innovative products and services Click here for a copy of our company brochure which outlines a number of our services and the benefits we can bring to your business.
