Innovation Sourcing

Source the latest technology and innovations you need to fulfill your global ambitions.

Innovation to fuel your business

The global innovation landscape has changed. Value chains are increasingly fragmented, industrial and technological convergence is accelerating rapidly, and the need for custom, localized solutions (especially in developing economies) has never been higher.

Serica’s Innovation Sourcing solution enables you to access a network of world-class innovators that typically fall below the radar of most newcomers to the market. Utilizing our unique market position we source technology and close deals with speed and precision, saving you substantial time and resources.
