Where we can add value

We assist private sector companies of all types in the commercialisation of biotechnologies. Our understanding of life sciences markets enables us to operate across related sectors and can often find novel applications not previously considered, or where our clients do not have the headroom to undertake the work themselves. We understand how fundamental technologies can find applications and markets through development and communication of a package of customer benefits, not through descriptions of features.

The biotechnology and medical devices sectors are complex and rapidly changing. Medical devices in particular feature regularly in public sector funding calls. Recently, the Medical Research Council and the Department of Health have combined their efforts to encourage greater activity in generating new healthcare devices and medicines, and to bring them to commercial fruition. Qi3 is actively working with these funding bodies and with key academics in the area.

From the cell to advanced bio-instrumentation, Qi3 combines marketing professionalism with domain expertise to enable clients to maximise the value of their bio-technology.
