We work closely with universities, helping academic staff to find practical and commercial applications for their new ideas and research outcomes.
We also support entrepreneurs in developing profitable businesses from selected inventions and new technologies. The three key questions are:

Will it Work? Is It Needed? Route to Market?

We look at these three questions in "What we do"

Being an entrepreneur is not an easy life. Success requires a good and creative idea that meets a market need; commitment, courage and above all perseverance.

We like working with people who have the drive and the will to chart their own path. We have wide experience and a well-developed market network to help you achieve your potential. As battle-scarred entrepreneurs ourselves, we have travelled the road before and we combine well-grounded expertise with disruptive, leading-edge technologies in nurturing ideas to commercial reality.

How can we help you?

We are a UK-based business with international reach. West & Company can help by working with you to define your technical idea in commercial terms, by making relevant contacts, and by identifying suitable funding if required. Our marketing and manufacturing contact networks are extensive in the UK and EU, but also include project partners and companies in South East Asia, China, Japan and Taiwan to the East, and West into the USA and Canada.

The road from innovation to market exploitation can be lonely and frustrating, especially because most new ideas take more years to reach maturity than had been originally envisaged. We believe the journey can be fun, in spite of the inevitable setbacks: having informed and capable companions on the journey can make a considerable difference. Contact us for a confidential chat - tell us your concerns, and let's see how we can help.
