Impact is difficult to evidence. Research may influence organisations, communities, programmes, policy, or innovation long before those effects are easy to quantify.
← Who we work with
Universities and Research Institutions
Connect research with the people, institutions, and conditions that shape whether it creates value beyond the research environment. SustematiQ helps universities and research institutions understand stakeholder needs, adoption conditions, societal relevance, market context, and pathways from research toward real world use.
Common challenges
Strong research does not automatically create real world impact.
Research and external needs may not align automatically. Researchers, industry, public institutions, users, funders, and affected stakeholders can have different priorities and definitions of value.
Evidence is fragmented. Useful signals about adoption, use, relevance, barriers, and outcomes may be distributed across many stakeholders and sources.
Promising technologies may encounter adoption barriers. Technical maturity does not reveal whether organisations, institutions, markets, or users are ready to adopt an innovation.
Research teams increasingly need to demonstrate relevance within funded programmes. This can require credible stakeholder involvement, impact pathways, exploitation logic, societal understanding, and evidence of learning.
How SustematiQ helps
Connect research evidence with stakeholders, adoption, and real world decisions.
Stakeholder intelligence: Identify relevant users, beneficiaries, affected groups, implementation partners, decision makers, and organisations that may enable or obstruct translation.
Research and evidence: Gather and synthesise evidence about needs, context, adoption, impact, and stakeholder experience using appropriate research methods.
Impact pathway analysis: Examine how research outputs are expected to connect with users, institutions, technologies, programmes, or societal outcomes and where important assumptions exist.
Market and opportunity intelligence: Explore possible applications, demand, competing approaches, ecosystem actors, and conditions influencing commercial or institutional uptake.
Adoption readiness: Understand stakeholder expectations, institutional barriers, trust conditions, implementation requirements, and other factors affecting real world use.
Foresight and strategic context: Explore how emerging technologies, regulation, markets, institutions, and societal expectations could influence future research relevance or translation.
Decision support: Translate complex research and stakeholder evidence into briefs, workshops, priorities, exploitation choices, or programme decisions.
What you can take away

Common ways we can help
Relevant services for this audience.
Research and Evidence
Build the evidence needed for an important question through primary research, evidence reviews, stakeholder research, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and structured synthesis.
Stakeholder Intelligence and Adoption Readiness
Understand who matters, what different stakeholders need, where influence and dependency sit, and what could enable or block responsible adoption.
Market and Opportunity Intelligence
Understand emerging markets, unmet needs, stakeholder demand, competing alternatives, and the conditions that could shape whether an opportunity succeeds.
Strategic Foresight and Future Intelligence
Explore how technologies, stakeholder behaviour, institutions, markets, and societal conditions may evolve so decisions made today are more resilient.
Connect strong research with the conditions required for real world value.
