Market &

Opportunity

Where is the commercial opportunity behind your research?

You know what your technology can do. But turning research into a commercial opportunity starts with a different set of questions.

Who really needs it? What problem are you solving? Who will pay for it? And where should you start?

A technology can have many possible applications. Commercialisation starts by deciding where to focus first.

- What problem are we really solving?
- Who experiences this problem most?
- Is the problem important enough to act on?
- How is it solved today?
- Why are current solutions not good enough?
- Who really needs our innovation?
- Who could become our first customer?
- Is the user also the customer?
- Who makes the buying decision?
- Who actually pays?
- Which customer segment should we approach first?
- Is there a market willing to pay for our solution?
- How big could this opportunity become?
- Which market should we enter first?
- Should we start in Belgium or think internationally from day one?
- Which companies should we talk to first?
- What value do we create for the customer?
- Why would someone choose us over another solution?
- What could customers be willing to pay for?
- How could we make money from our innovation?
- Which business model could work?
- Who are our real competitors?
- Are we competing with another technology — or with the way customers solve the problem today?
- What makes our approach different?
- Is that difference valuable to the customer?
- How should we position ourselves in the market?
