About

Fovea is a boutique consultancy company founded on the belief that academic research holds immense commercial potential, to be unlocked. This represents a unique opportunity to give greater meaning and impact to the work of scientists around the world.

With the rapid advancement of AI accelerating the pace of scientific discovery, this potential will only continue to grow. While some institutions are already rising to meet this challenge, not all are equally equipped, and each field and ecosystem presents its own unique obstacles.

Our mission is to minimise the missed opportunities provided by research through illuminating its pathways to impact and commercialisation.

We believe that strategy is first about being crystal clear on its desired outcomes and objectives. Clear communication not only aligns and motivates people but is also an integral part of the process, serving as the backbone of the project’s roadmap to success.

A commercial strategy is effective if and only if it is both holistic and practical as it ensures that every element of your strategy works together cohesively. Thus, our approach combines various rigorous analysis of your innovation and incumbent's  to create an analytical way of choosing the right way to achieve clear goals.
