Black Kite® Ltd. is a technology business consultancy that has been helping small and large organisations grow since it was founded in 2007. We bridge the gap between R&D and business development to provide expertise that you may not have in-house.
We can offer support from establishing a business case for a new idea right through to delivery, helping clients grow their business by establishing a market and securing and managing funding. We work with R&D organisations operating at the forefront of technology, including University spin-outs, small and large organisations, and funding bodies. Our services include advice on strategy, technology market studies, business cases, and forging partnerships to create coherent and robust business propositions.
We also offer project and programme management, and bid and grant management services, including preparing for and managing grant funding compliance. Our highly qualified and experienced technical staff have all worked as engineers in R&D before moving into management, understanding projects at every level. We have staff with experience in academia and industry, and we build our services around customer needs, aiming to deliver cost-effective solutions.
We are passionate about new technology and gain satisfaction from seeing our customers succeed and bring their products to market.
