Concept to Prototype Development
Generating new ideas can be a chaotic process. That’s why To4C boots your innovation process in a systematic and structural way. Our methodology of innovation combines the existing with the new.
From our experience we know that somewhere, someone has already tried to solve your challenge or something similar. That's why we’re always looking for inspiration and knowledge in other industries and academia. This allows us to offer commercially available and easily-integrated solutions along with breakthrough approaches from academia.
We implement our strategic innovation methodology to improve and realize your ideas
We start by uncovering with our client his vision for new product and its requirements, revealing assumptions and separating value from function.
Uncovering Clients Vision
The next step is the exploration process: we map existing technologies in our client industry and search for links with other industries and academia that face similar challenges.
Exploring Technological Approaches
Based on this long-list of technologies, we turn ideas into concepts, which are then visualized and backed with developed prototype and a list of possible suppliers.

How we Can Help You
Based on our client vision of a new product, we perform extensive and critical review of patents and research literature for possible solutions of the challenge in our client industry, crosslinks with other industries, and academia.
We build a valuable technological roadmap with healthy how-to-do attitude and emphasize hidden pit-falls.
We identify the key technological and scientific element of a new product and test it thoughtfully before initialization of product development. We see this step as most critical one, since without proper assignment and investigation of the key element the technological approach may not work or the product will not meet customer requirements or price.
After the key element of the new product was tested we assist our client in all required aspect all the way to prototype construction, final product development and production.
