TECHNOLOGY INNOVATORS We partner with both commercial and government clients that are performing groundbreaking research and developing innovative technologies that are changing how people live and work.
Global Materials Manufacturer This $40 billion company with worldwide operations wanted to target new markets where its innovative, high-end plastic and textiles would be in demand. Toffler Associates assisted the client in exploring emerging markets within transportation, healthcare, security infrastructure and other industries. We also helped the client to size the markets, identify advanced material plays and focus precious R&D dollars to achieve desired growth — $5 billion within five to seven years.
Information Technology Firm This firm asked Toffler Associates to assess the potential size of the opportunity in the information assurance market. It also wanted us to make strategic recommendations on how to capitalize on this opportunity. Our analysis included insight into future R&D investments that the client must make to provide an expanding set of capabilities and offerings — information the firm needs to maximize its potential in this targeted market.
Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) DTRA's job is to create, or help others create, technologies to protect our citizens and soldiers from an enemy's weapons of mass destruction. Agency leaders wanted a systematic, repeatable methodology for learning what new technologies are being developed that would be unidentifiable through existing means. Toffler Associates first devised a groundbreaking approach for discovering important technology innovations within companies, governments, universities and other organizations worldwide. We then used this approach to identify over 3,800 relevant ongoing or emerging research efforts worth over $5 billon.
Global Food Processing Company As part of a rapidly changing industry, this client needed a process for identifying what emerging new technologies it should invest in or acquire to a) create profitable new core products, and b) jumpstart its move into new growing or emerging food markets. Toffler Associates' work looked at what innovations beyond the traditional food industry could help our client grow its business and invent new foods and nutritional products that consumers around the world will want and need.
