EMD expands your company's capabilities dramatically ... providing a breadth of know-how and focused dedication typically unavailable even in the largest companies.

​

Our corporate partners use EMD in several ways to enable their innovative product efforts ... ranging from a corporate "skunk works" partner that mines for opportunities, creates business cases, and navigates the tortuous path through development and commercialization to an "on call" place to go to drive through a difficult phase or side step a stumbling block in your existing innovation efforts.

​

When it's time to graduate from being merely active in innovation to creating the innovative product and establishing a business, it's time to call on EMD.

​

Some of the work we do for clients regularly includes the following:

​

• create meaningful product differentiation

  • make a product work better​

  • make a product work differently (maybe to side step another's patent)

  • enable a useful new product feature

• create and enable unique solutions (to help enter new markets)​

• investigate new technology​ - technology scouting and assessment
