Prompt helps companies and organizations advance innovation projects through outsourcing support and consortium formation. This personalized guidance helps identify the expertise required, connect with qualified partners and facilitate the development of collaborative innovation projects.
How Prompt Supports Outsourcing and Consortium Formation
Prompt’s support services cover three complementary areas: assessing outsourcing needs, connecting organizations with qualified experts and partners, and creating visibility and networking opportunities to support innovation projects.
1. Assessing Your Outsourcing Needs
Based on your organizational structure, our experts will assess your innovation strategy to identify your outsourcing needs for carrying out your innovation projects. This assessment leads to the creation of a roadmap that outlines the key steps required to carry out your innovation projects (technological expertise and financial resources).
2. Personalized Support and Expert Networking
An advisor will guide you through the process of developing your roadmap by implementing one or more of the following strategies at the local, Canadian, or international level:
Creating a Tailored Call for Expert Proposals
Prompt supports you with a turnkey solution for creating and promoting a private call for proposals. Your advisor will guide you in defining the criteria and setting up a selection process tailored to your needs, based on the level of involvement that suits you. Finally, the Prompt team coordinates and promotes your call for proposals and handles the review and selection of the applications received.
Technology Monitoring, Opportunities and Funding
Prompt provides continuous technology monitoring, as well as oversight, management, and creation of standardized or agile calls for projects from public and private partners. Our expertise, combined with in-depth knowledge of available funding within the innovation ecosystem, allows us to:
- Prompt shares valuable insights on technological trends and advancements with its members.
- Prompt informs its members about public and private opportunities available across provincial, federal and international innovation ecosystems.
- Where applicable, Prompt helps structure blended financing arrangements in collaboration with public and private funding partners.
Intra- and Cross-Sector Expert Networking
Prompt connects you with qualified and complementary implementation partners (from academia or industry) to accelerate the development and implementation of your projects. This approach reduces the risk associated with expertise and increases opportunities for commercialization partnerships.
3. Visibility and Growth
As part of our ongoing support, your advisor offers you opportunities to increase the visibility of your organization, your technology portfolio, and your expertise, opening the door to new business and growth opportunities:
- Visibility for your company or consortium as part of Prompt’s communications activities targeting the local, Canadian, and international innovation ecosystems.
