Challenge Incub

challenge us

We thrive on being challenged

You need a collaborator to help develop your idea

You could be a young cub who has nurtured an idea through university, a product designer who has spotted a market opportunity, or a mature cub with an idea yearning for a new challenge.

In the first instance give us a call. If we think together it is worth progressing, we will ask you to submit to us a short document which shows how the product or idea works, what problem it is trying to solve, what is innovative about your product, what are the benefits of using the product, and who the customer will be.

Once we have got this we will get back to you as soon as possible with our initial thoughts on whether your idea meets our requirements, and then progress to a meeting to discuss your concept in more detail.

You have a design problem you cannot solve

One of our key values is to continually challenge conventional thinking and to expose our ideas and innovation team to new markets, new technologies and methods. And if we can help get innovative products designed and manufactured in the UK so much the better.

If you are a designer or company with a design problem you cannot solve please contact us. We will commit to reviewing one problem a week and to come back to you with some initial concepts. You never know together over time we could turn it into a winning product.

You need some impartial advice

If you have a product idea think about us as your innovation uncle. We are always very happy to have an initial discussion with you about your idea. We may not be interested in developing it but we will confidentially talk to you and offer you advice on what you should do next. Our library and q+a section may also be of use to you in developing your idea.
