Innovia Technology

A lovely moment to end the working week on... Arron Rodrigues spotted a video on BBC News and shared it with the team. This led to a great conversation about the work we did with arena to create record-breaking swimsuits. Our application of fundamental science resulted in next generation competition suits. The first suit developed by the collaboration debuted in the 2009 World Championships in Rome. arena won more gold medals, and broke more world records than ever before.

After a recent lunchtime chat (and subsequent poll) some of us were surprised to find just how many Innovians wake up in the morning and reached for a Vitamin D supplement in the winter. This conversation served as a great reminder of just how hard it is to know what motivates consumers, even when you are one. Thankfully Innovia tackles these problems a little more systematically than asking around the office. When PepsiCo asked us to deeply understand an emerging consumer group to grow their supplements space, we knew just what to do... https://lnkd.in/epNFBZfJ PepsiCo Innovia Technology #Supplements #Innovation

"What exactly is it that makes cheese so great to eat? One of the best things about food science is uncovering the principles that underpin your favourite snacks. We enjoyed this challenging, creative exploration of what makes cheese cheese to begin with, and how we might begin to make it even better. https://lnkd.in/e-ZqXtVH Innovia Technology Kraft Heinz #Innovation #Food

Some industry disruptions are sudden. Some come with warning signs. And some disruptions creep up over a number of years, starting small and gradually changing the face of an entire industry. Our work with GE HealthCare shows how, when looking to future-proof biomanufacture, we can anticipate those disruptions, from the near-in shocks to the slow, fundamental transformations. https://lnkd.in/ehnWNDMY Innovia Technology #healthcare #biomanufacture #holisticinnovation

How would you react if a robot listened to your conversations and guessed your favourite meal? What if it decided to make you a cocktail in the evening? What if it told a joke? What if it got angry? What if it got sad? This cutting edge project on human-machine interaction allowed Innovia to explore what people expect from AI and robots, what they don’t expect, and the surprisingly subtle reasons why.

Innovation in well-known systems is hard enough. Innovation in systems that even experts don’t fully understand is that much harder. On this project, Innovia Technology went back to fundamentals and used ground-up materials science, chemistry, and condensed matter physics to hypothesise methods for improving the design of poorly understood hydrotreating catalysts.

How do you plan a future-looking clinical strategy? When our client identified a major threat facing its business, we helped them use it as an opportunity to overtake the competition. We were able to confidently rule out large classes of solutions, and pinpoint where viable opportunities existed, to recommend a strategy that was: * Clinically efficacious – it makes technical sense. * Commercially viable – it provides positive NPV for both the healthcare system and the business. * Competitive – the approach is strategically advantageous and robust.

When you think about challenging traditional models in innovation, what comes to mind first? Lily Clarke, Eve Robertson-Waters and Olivia Pang are sharing their thoughts on this and more on Tuesday night, at the Cambridge Judge Business School. We'd love to hear your thoughts and build them into what we share... Interested in knowing more? https://lnkd.in/etsMikgz #EnterpriseWOMEN #Cambridge #Innovation #MakeItHappen

When you're designing a product that makes contact with a human body it is worth considering three factors - the body parts that are involved in using the product (including those not directly in contact with the product), the product, and the body-product interface. In this work, on Smartwool, Innovia's multidisciplinary teams and holistic approach allowed us to consider the three factors and their interplay, and to synthesise the learnings into impactful recommendations.
