What does TRADEDART do?

Each direction is a separate piece of research with its own question, sources and outcome. Depending on the situation, one assignment can combine several directions.

01

Industrial problem research

When a company has a problem with no obvious solution, we break it down into research questions and look for possible answers outside the company's usual circle.

When it applies

When a question stays open because everything obvious has already been checked internally.

Research can cover

  • alternative materials
  • technologies
  • processes
  • suppliers
  • partners
  • other industry solutions
02

Finding potential customers and buyers

When a company has a product, material, by-product or other value but it is unclear who to offer it to, we identify potential buyers and customers.

When it applies

When the offering is ready but the demand side has not been mapped.

Research can cover

  • market research
  • company identification
  • industry analysis
  • list of potential buyers
  • alternative market research
03

Finding business partners

We look for companies for commercial, manufacturing, technological or other forms of cooperation.

When it applies

When the task cannot be done alone and a partner with different competence or capacity is needed.

Research can cover

  • manufacturers
  • distributors
  • technology companies
  • industrial partners
  • research organisations
  • other industry players
04

Supplier sourcing

We look for alternative suppliers and manufacturers when a company needs to reduce costs, reduce dependence on a single supplier or find another solution.

When it applies

When the supply chain has become too costly, too slow or dependent on one source.

Research can cover

  • alternative suppliers
  • manufacturers for non-standard parts
  • other regions and markets
  • material substitutes
05

New applications for materials and products

We investigate where an existing material, product or manufacturing by-product could be used in other industries or processes.

When it applies

When a material is technically sound but is no longer needed in the main process.

Research can cover

  • applications in other industries
  • by-product streams
  • reuse within processes
  • technical requirements and limits
06

Cost reduction research

We investigate alternative materials, suppliers, technologies, processes and other solutions that could reduce a company's costs.

When it applies

When the cost item is known but alternatives have not been checked systematically.

Research can cover

  • material alternatives
  • procurement directions
  • technology comparison
  • process changes
