FRAME · CONVENE · PROVE · SCALE
Define the mission and outcome; assemble government, research, industry, capital and founders; test the riskiest assumption; then choose programme, licence, consortium, spin-off or venture.
INNOVATION · ORCHESTRATION · VENTURE BUILDER · INNOVATION HUB · A FUND
TP & Partners are orchestrators, not broker: the work is not only connecting parties around a known transaction, but creating a neutral structure, a space, and lead to solve a problem/challenge you may even not know it can be solved
The organisational form follows the problem. Not every innovation should become a start-up, and not every programme should remain a project.
Evidence & materialsHow the work is structured
Define the mission and outcome; assemble government, research, industry, capital and founders; test the riskiest assumption; then choose programme, licence, consortium, spin-off or venture.
Weeks 1–3: user problem, technology readiness, IP map and pilot criteria. Weeks 4–9: prototype in an industrial setting, economics and adoption. Weeks 10–12: vehicle decision, governance and a 90-day plan.
Design mandate, governance, sector focus, partner architecture, programme portfolio and measurement—so a hub has a mechanism for outcomes rather than only space and events.
Move research through prototype, validation, IP strategy and industrial partnership; or repeat discovery, validation and venture building with shared product, research, talent and services.
Fraunhofer, ITRI and Carnot for research translation; MEP, IRAP and Kosetsushi for SME extension; UK Catapult for neutral infrastructure; Idealab and eFounders for venture studios; X and PARC for moonshot and graduation mechanisms.
Public agencies and research institutes with missions or IP; companies with real problems or anchor-customer capacity; technical teams seeking a route to market; patient capital and builders.
A bounded first engagement
A first engagement is designed to create evidence and a next decision within weeks.
Clarify the mission, decision, stakeholders and constraints.
Bring together the smallest coalition with mandate, knowledge and operating capacity.
Run a research sprint, workshop, prototype or pilot against explicit criteria.
Continue, adapt, partner, licence, spin out—or stop with useful learning.
