Our approach
From innovation to market.
Many innovations are technically mature but not yet established on the market. We support the steps between development and commercial use.
Starting point
An innovation
- A product that works
- A research result
- A patent or a prototype
- Technical documentation
Contribution of JCP
Evidence and access
- Interviews with real buyers and users
- A clear value proposition
- Direct contact with the right companies
- Follow-up until there is a decision
Objective
A market
- Qualified customers and partners
- Distributors in new countries
- Pilots, licences, contracts
- A credible exploitation plan
Where we help
Three routes from expertise to use.
01
Market evidence and sales enablement
For industrial, engineering, energy, digital and health-technology companies that need sharper positioning, buyer evidence, sales material or a first test of a new market.
For technology companies →
02
Research impact and exploitation
For coordinators and research teams that need credible target groups, user evidence, dissemination, management of key exploitable results and routes to uptake.
For research consortia →
03
Market entry and representation
For selected companies and institutions that need market evidence, qualified partners and sustained representation in Switzerland and Europe, including partners from China, India, the Gulf and North Africa.
Entering Switzerland and Europe →What sets JCP apart
Evidence before promotion.
Public promotion bodies such as Switzerland Global Enterprise, cantonal economic promotion and Euresearch provide valuable first information. JCP takes on the sustained work that follows: testing demand with real buyers and users, shaping the offer, approaching the right organisations and following opportunities to a decision.
Senior people do the work
Assignments are led directly by JCP’s principals, with specialist production support where required.
Commercial and research routes connect
The same market evidence can strengthen a product launch, an exploitation plan and a partner discussion.
Clear scope and terms
Deliverables, responsibilities, timing and fees are agreed in writing. Evaluations, bank decisions and consortium decisions remain independent.
Compliance first
A written eligibility and risk screening before any approach to a coordinator or a partner.
Paid partly on results
For business development, a monthly fee and a commission on contracts concluded, the model of our longest mandate since 2006.
Multilingual Swiss base
Work in English, French and German, from Schindellegi between Zurich and Zug.
Method
