At BIC Innovation, we strongly Believe in Change and our mission is to promote and assist in embedding change and innovation across Wales so that it is lean and agile as a platform for prosperity and growth. We help organisations change and develop in all aspects including marketing, prospective, processes, and we have a proven track record of this in many public sector programmes that we have undertaken. Our work spans private sector giants such as Airbus, wide ranging manufacturing sectors, SMEs, the NHS, government and academia across the UK. With offices at Bangor, Bridgend and London BIC Innovation is a UK wide organisation.
The development and commercialisation of new products, processes and technologies forms a key part of BIC Innovation’s activities today across a wide variety of sectors, across Wales but increasingly UK and internationally. We are experienced in developing ideas, from initial concept through to market launch, as well as practical assistance with new markets, increasing market share, new sectors, marketing techniques and routes to market.
