We from UDV are a group of experienced business developers and entrepreneurs with a strong background in science, technology & innovation. In today’s digital and globally networked era, technology is changing faster and faster. The exponential acceleration of innovation puts quite some pressure on a company’s resources to sustain their competitive advantage. We believe that many disruptive innovations started as a company’s ugly duckling, i.e. an idea, invention or R&D project that is stopped and has not been acknowledged as a high potential opportunity. Something that has no resemblance with existing products or direct fit in the existing market. These nascent opportunities are therefore abandoned rather than being nurtured into a successful innovation. UDV has done this for multinational companies and research organizations like TU Delft, Nikhef/CERN & AMOLF, but also started and sold companies ourselves. UDV enables a quick and validated assessment of nascent ideas, nearly expired patents or dormant inventions, and offers you support to turn them into viable new business. UDV is a company that gets excited about getting involved in product development and customer validation. Innovation is a multiplicative process where a talented group of people takes on advanced technology and converts it into a new product or service that meets the need of your customers. It should not only address an important need, but also through a compelling approach with excellent benefits per cost when compared to the competition.
