For industry
One problem statement in. A shortlist of verified options out.
IPMeld acts as an outsourced innovation-scouting and technology-assembly partner: we find, verify, combine and validate technology, then present it as a single evaluable package.
Outsourced innovation scouting
Seven ways corporate teams use IPMeld
You define the problem and the constraints. We do the discovery, the ownership work and the assembly, and return a small number of options you can actually evaluate.
Submit an industrial problem
Describe the operational problem and the constraints. We search, screen and return a shortlist.
Commission a technology search
A defined scouting mandate across universities, independent inventors and our existing portfolio.
Launch a sponsored innovation challenge
A scoped, funded challenge put to institutions and inventor networks in your target sectors.
Evaluate pre-screened solutions
Only technologies with documented ownership, an Invention Passport and a commercial recommendation.
Request a pilot
A trial with success criteria, timelines and cost agreed in advance.
Obtain access to coordinated licensing
One licensing conversation covering an assembled package, rather than parallel negotiations.
Identify manufacturing and development partners
Introductions to manufacturers and engineering partners able to take a technology to production.
For manufacturers
Early sight of technology that needs a production route
Many assembled packages stall for want of tooling, process engineering or volume capability rather than invention. Manufacturers registered with IPMeld get early visibility of technologies matched to their process capabilities.
- Named process and capability profile held on file
- Early-stage notification for matching technologies
- Development, tooling or contract-manufacture roles
- Participation in pilots at real production scale
Primary route
Submit an Industry Challenge
Tell us what is failing, what you have already tried and what a successful outcome would look like commercially. The more precise the constraints, the better the shortlist.
You will receive an acknowledgement, a scoping conversation, and a written statement of what we believe is findable — before any search work is commissioned.
Confidentiality
Challenge information is held confidentially in accordance with the applicable platform terms and any separately executed agreement. Tell us if any part of the problem statement is commercially sensitive and it will not be circulated.
What the challenge form asks for
- Company name
- Contact person
- Business email
- Industry
- Problem statement
- Current process or solution
- Desired outcome
- Technical constraints
- Available budget range
- Target implementation date
- Preferred type of engagement
- Confidentiality requirements

Stop reviewing concepts. Start evaluating packages.
Every opportunity we present has documented ownership, a standard dossier, an independent review and a named commercial recommendation.
