Testimonials
“A key part of our Innovate UK publicly funded project was to disseminate our synthetic image system for training AI solutions for the AgriTech industry. Our challenge was to identify & engage with end users and potential customers both in-project and post-project. Without the skillset in-house we recognised we needed specialised knowledge, and Opus Vox were perfectly placed to be able to deliver what was required.
Opus Vox provided us with critical insights, strategic direction and tactical deployment, all delivered with a highly personalised and professional service. As a result, our brand visibility, awareness in market and prospect footprint grew exponentially. We now have an excellent foundation to exploit our technology and look forward to continuing our partnership with Opus Vox.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Opus Vox as a dedicated, collaborative partner for those who are seeking public funding.
“As a Monitoring Officer for Innovate UKRI I have overseen publicly-funded projects since 2013, one of these being the Icemart project –ice-mart.com – which was one of the first I have seen where dissemination & exploitation were actively and successfully addressed right from the start of the project.
They involved every member of the consortium utilising the members skills. One of their achievements was they identified critical issues across a range of sectors and brought together a panel of professionals from key organisations for a webinar which, linked to the ICELIP project Campaign. This not only highlighted the product achievements but, connected with other sectors to ensure they maximised the potential of the end product. They prepared the baseline for the OEMs to set up for future commercialisation.
The team behind Opus Vox were responsible for this success and I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
