Project Management: Research & Development

Innovation leads to a competitive advantage for the companies, creating new opportunities and business lines, or simply identifying concrete improvements in the present systems of business. For that reason Companies have to consider the Research & Development actions a key factor within their strategic formulation.

Our objective is to increase the competitive capacity and the growth of the companies by means of the stimulus of the innovation in the strategic and operative slopes.

We offer a service of:

  • Consultancy
  • Administrative technical assistance
  • Legal, commercial and financial Advising

In several lines of actuation:

  • Knowledge and technology transfer management
  • Management of R+D projects
  • Financial management of the R+D grants and other aids
  • Project Partnership and Consortium coordination
  • Science sponsorship management

 

In UM&Asociados we tailor-made our R&D management experience, adapting to the needs and expectations of the Client-Company, designing an action plan that coordinates and combines different activities according to the specific case:

  1. Support to the Client-Company in the definition of its innovation strategy: detection and identification of R+D lines and objectives.
  2. Intermediation between the worlds of Science, Technology and the Company, with the objective to promote and help the transfer of the knowledge generated in the research centres, adapting it to the real necessities of the Industry and Market.
  3. Support and coaching in the definition and planning dstages of R+D projects, and in the later development and follow-up.
  4. Protection of innovation rights: Industrial Property and Patents.
  5. Advice and management of the public and semi-public available financing tools for R+D projects: Grants; Soft Loans with preferential conditions; Fiscal tax deductions; and Participative Loans and/or Risk-Capital options below the market price.
  6. Coordination of Investigation Partnerships and Consortiums, recently promoted by the Spanish Government through the new support programs. In this case, our role goes from the attendance in the creation of the strategic partnership, elaboration and presentation of the aid request, through the representation of the partnership to the grantor organisation, technical, economic and financial advice, organization tasks, and management of the work and necessary information diffusion between partnership members.
  7. Promotion of the Technical-Scientifical Investigation Sponsorship with the purpose of enhancing the Company corporate image and the public prestige of the company increasing the brand value. Every Project of Science Sponsorship is defined based on the expectations and personality of the Client-Company, selecting the more appropriate line of strategic research to finance based on the available budget, with two different organizational models:
    • Sponsorship through an annual Public Tender to select R+D Projects.
    • Sponsorship by Direct Awarding to a defined and known Project.
