​​Research Helicopter

META provides a range of services to help research/technology organisations, individual scientists and EU research projects become more entrepreneurial and better use their results.​

META has been helping research teams prepare and implement their project's exploitation strategies for over 20 years. We work before, during and after research projects, helping teams:

  • design research funding proposals so the resulting project is more market-oriented
  • prepare and then implement their project's exploitation strategies.

META's experience led to our selection as exclusive supplier of research exploitation services for Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe

  • Business and legal consultancy: structuring the business idea and ensuring legal protection to bring it to market efficiently
