Where we can add value

Traditionally, environmental markets have been conservative, driven primarily by regulation and slow to change. However, with increasing political awareness, a rapid increase in regulatory requirements and growing economic impact of environmental issues, the sector is set for significant change. This will create new opportunities for sales / profit growth and Qi3 has a unique combination of market knowledge, regulatory monitoring and technology foresight to help organisations exploit these opportunities.

Our work with a range of organisations enables us to monitor the legislative and regulatory developments that are the bedrock of the sector. We are closely involved with a number of knowledge transfer and exchange programmes giving us wide exposure to the new technologies and scientific discoveries in the field. Our broad ranging commercial experience in the environment, instrumentation, biotechnology, and associated sectors enables us to rapidly evaluate new market requirements and changing market conditions to identify sales and profit opportunities.

Qi3 has a team of experts in environmental science, market research, product marketing, marketing communications and commercialisation who understand the market drivers and barriers to success in this sector. They have undertaken a range of projects from microbial degradation of hazardous organic liquid wastes, through market developments in environmental monitoring to new instrumentation technologies (from Earth Observation to in-situ sensors).
