Client Testimonials

For the third year in succession, Innovation Observatory have delivered a high-quality market analysis, helping to guide the strategic direction of the Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult. Innovation Observatory analysed the state of the compound semiconductor market in 24 key segments, identifying where the Catapult’s interventions would deliver most benefit for UK companies. For each segment, they determined the market growth rates and the UK’s capability to exploit the emerging technology. It has been a pleasure working with the Innovation Observatory team, and I have no hesitation in recommending this professional organisation.

Dr Andy G Sellars
Strategic Development Director, CSA Catapult

We asked Innovation Observatory to write a series of insight papers for us on R&D, investment and commercialisation of the Internet of Things in the UK. The papers are easy to read and add a great deal to the debate – both for technical and non-technical audiences. Their work involved a lot of detailed research, an aspect of the project they managed very well. They were also able to work with a team of data visualisation experts to present their database for maximum impact.

Interim Head of IoTUK, Digital Catapult

Over the years Innovation Observatory has produced some very well-received reports for KCOM, designed to demonstrate the benefits of our Lightstream fibre network for customers, to show how the network has encouraged the growth of the local digital economy, and to highlight the economic benefits the network has delivered to local businesses. Their reports have been underpinned by workshops, programmes of market research and market modelling, all managed by the team at Innovation Observatory. They are professional to work with, and we have been really pleased with the insight and content they have delivered.

For China Mobile’s corporate social and environmental development team, we worked alongside Cambridge University to produce a major report on mHealth applications and the role for mobile operators and service providers. This included characterising opportunities, modelling business cases, describing mHealth services from developed and developing economies, and recommending actions for different players in the value chain. We also arranged and delivered two webinars for the mHealth community worldwide to share the key findings of the report.
