Strategic insights

Over the past decade, IP Pragmatics has built up a broad appreciation and understanding of supply chains, market dynamics and product development that span a number of food, beverage and ingredient categories, working with many innovative SMEs and leading research institutes and universities globally.

 

Industry contacts

We routinely engage and meet with major players and tier 2 companies across these different food (including meat, dairy, bakery, confectionary), ingredients (such as macronutrients, flavours, fragrances and probiotics) and applications (including obesity, satiety, gut health, bone and joints, brain health, ageing and infant formulations). Using these interactions we are to be able to quickly determine current trends, technology interests and partnering requirements to inform our clients’ novel opportunities.    

 

Practical approach

With technical and commercial expertise, we are able to quickly assimilate our clients’ product, technology or research interests and provide valuable insights, practical advice and next steps that to progress the food and nutrition opportunity. This is performed through a combination of market assessments, patent landscaping and value chain analyses and direct approaches with prospective industry partners and/or buyers.
