Adventus Research + Consulting has executed 106 NSERC Idea to Innovation Market Assessments for 18 different Canadian academic institutions.  Here is what a few of them had to say about the experience of working with Adventus and the quality of our work.

Jonathan Deeks, Business Development Manager, WORLDiscoveries, University of Western Ontario

“We recently engaged Adventus Research + Consulting to complete the market assessment for a new IT technology developed here at Western, securing support through NSERC’s i2i program.  They have been very professional, communicative and engaged throughout the process and it has been very easy to work with them.  The quality and depth of the report they produced is first class, their level of expertise brought to bear on the project was considerable and the volume of primary research they undertook is very clear.  We now have a report that demonstrates real, relevant market interest in the technology and includes qualified warm leads to pursue with very appropriate and specific individual industry members.” May 12, 2017

Brett Sharp, Ph.D, Associate Director – Knowledge Mobilization, University-Industry Liaison Office, University of British Columbia 

“Our office recently engaged Adventus Research + Consulting to conduct a market research study that investigated the commercial potential for an innovation recently developed at UBC. This market assessment was undertaken with the support of the NSERC Idea to Innovation program.  I highly recommend Adventus Research + Consulting as a consultant and research service provider for anyone considering this type of market study. Having worked in the University-Industry Liaison Office at UBC for a number of years, and having seen many due diligence market studies, I would assert that the Market Assessment provided by Adventus is among the very top-tier of reports that UBC has received from a market research provider. Their focus on primary research which yielded detailed insights and feedback from numerous industry stakeholders, along with an extensive secondary data review, is a combination that is rarely successfully delivered.”   March 23, 2016

Nicolas du Parc, Project Manager, Business Development, Sciences and Engineering,  Univalor, Université de Montréal

“As a Project Manager at Univalor, The Technology Transfer Office of the Université de Montréal, Adventus recently completed a market research study for us in the field of polymers and plastics recycling, in the context of the NSERC Idea to Innovation program.  Adventus did remarkable work, developing the necessary understanding of this complex technology.  They were very structured and diligent, always asking for feedback from us to ensure they would meet our expectations.  In the assignment, Adventus identified the key players in the industry, interviewed them and did an excellent job of introducing them to the technology – which we asked them to do.  Thanks to their work, we now have several leads for developing and eventually transferring the technology to industry.”     March 27, 2015
