Research And New Products Manager
CurrentRegarding research and innovation activities, the funds come from research calls or investments by private customers. My activities start from the generation of new ideas that are based on the technological-scientific skills of the company and the skills of possible project partners but always aimed at market trends. Since the objective of the project often requires the collaboration of various companies and research centers, I participate in exhibitions, conferences, b2b events, tables, meetings aimed at extending my network of contacts. In this activity, the already established network is important but also the communication skills are useful for relating with people active in different fields: from physicians to professors from Defense officers to technicians and CEO of other companies.Having a good idea and partnership, after a prior art patent analysis, the co-design begins, then the planning and formulation of the project and related documents. Once I win the funding or obtain acceptance of the offer, I take care of the management of relationships with partners and financing bodies or customers and of the project management.Regarding the products and services created through research work, I deal with marketing, contacting potential customers also through the management of a small group of sales agents, organizing demo, formulating offers and participating in regional tenders.
