Oakland Innovation

Oakland has 25 years of experience, successfully supporting innovation and growth in some of the world’s best known companies. We support our clients from the inception to the execution of business growth initiatives, journeying with them to identify, explore, evaluate and initiate value generating opportunities. Our strength is where companies seek to create competitive advantage through the application of science and technology enabled innovation. We operate a systematic and ‘open’ model that harnesses internally and externally derived insight. We combine in-house knowledge and experience with opinion and stimulus provided by experts, practitioners and commentators from around the world. Integrated with perspectives drawn from key stakeholders within the customer’s own organisation the step by step and iterative program of work leads the customer from the possible ‘hunting grounds’ through to evidence based business opportunities. Oakland’s team couples commercial experience with technical knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit. With over 50 scientists and engineers drawn from more than 20 nations across the world we provide multinational and cross-cultural perspectives. It is an unusual and powerful combination with a proven record of success. Oakland Innovation is a Science Group company (formerly known as Sagentia Group).
