We work with all types of organisations, from large multinationals and public sector bodies, to SMEs, including high tech, pre-revenue start-ups. We also support collaborative R&D projects and industrial PhDs to both develop the skills base and generate new technologies.
The support we offer depends on the type and scale of your challenge and all advice is totally independent and technology agnostic. We have experience across a wide range of market sectors and emerging technologies and can share our expertise with you.
Our experienced business engagement, engineering and project management teams help you to understand your technology challenge or market opportunity and address it with confidence.
We have a number of ways in which we can work with you.
Consultancy and technical engineering services:
Landscape Review: If your idea is at an early stage, we can map out the research or technical landscape you are facing.
Prototyping and proof of concept: helping you de-risk an idea.
R&D: We can engage an expert from Scotland’s universities to join the team.
Collaboration: We may be able to participate in larger funded projects alongside you as your technology partner.
We offer you the opportunity to trial new products and services alongside our experienced team. Together, we can test, explore and change direction as you prepare for market readiness.
Our physical and digital assets, such as The Vision Lab, IoT Testbed, IoT Demo Centre and IoT2Go Development kits help de-risk your development projects in a supportive environment. Technology options can often be bewildering and making a wrong decision early in a project can cost time and finance to correct.
At CENSIS, we are technology-agnostic and can advise on all the available technologies to find the most suitable for your project needs
