Training

It can be difficult to innovate with materials. We have run focused workshops and training programmes in North America, Asia and Europe for multiple Fortune 500 companies. We helped consumer brands and material manufacturers to identify new material opportunities and create material strategies.

Workshops

We have extensive experience of conducting strategic and focused workshops with a wide range of clients. Our workshops bring together ID, marketing, engineering and sourcing to quickly and efficiently identify new strategies and actions that drive faster innovation through material applications.

Courses

We offer tailor-made training programmes that include sessions by Chris and the team, giving insights into our process, creative exercises and access to relevant material samples, as well as curated visits to suppliers and trade shows, based on your requirements.
