Sagentia Innovation unites with world-class consultancy practices

Sagentia Innovation will continue as a dedicated practice within the Sagentia brand, maintaining its role as a trusted R&D partner for leading consumer and industrial organisations

Today, Sagentia Innovation, a leading advisory and product development consultancy based in Cambridge, UK, announces the launch of its updated brand. This rebranding initiative brings together five sister consultancies under the unified Sagentia brand.

Sagentia Innovation will continue as a dedicated practice within the Sagentia brand, maintaining its role as a trusted R&D partner for leading consumer and industrial organisations. The practice will focus on consulting for critical R&D initiatives that shape the future direction and success of their clients. Sagentia Medical has been introduced as a specific practice to highlight the team’s capability to adopt the specialist approach required in MedTech R&D and our wealth of experience in this field.

The Sagentia Regulatory practice, comprising TSG Consulting and Leatherhead Food Research, will offer a suite of services to help companies navigate complex science and product regulations across the USA and throughout Europe. This practice is of particular interest to Sagentia Innovation clients, enabling us to help clients both understand and adapt to current and upcoming regulatory changes that will affect their products on the market or in development, and to deliver R&D solutions to ensure their products and services remain compliant and able to sustain their market position.

The strategic rebrand integrates over 300 consultants with expertise spanning defence, aviation, medical, consumer, food and beverage, energy, and industrial markets. By uniting this diverse regulatory and technological expertise, Sagentia aims to foster cross-market innovation and accelerate technological advancement.

Paul Wilkins, Managing Director at Sagentia Innovation, says the development represents an expansion of capabilities, which will unlock additional benefits for clients.

“It has been an eventful couple of years in consumer and industrial R&D, influenced by factors such as net zero goals, supply chain uncertainty, political unrest, market volatility, cost of living, energy transition, and Gen AI. Collaborating with our clients to navigate, tackle and embrace these market drivers has been rewarding and many indicators are optimistic for the future of consumer and industrial businesses.

Our team of experts is excited to continue supporting clients in various areas, including accelerating technical due diligence for M&A and partnerships, supply chain-localisation, selective development of high-margin/high-impact products, smart product upgrades, user experience overhaul, digital enablement, product extensions, cost optimisation, design for manufacture, and regulatory readiness, Sagentia Innovation’s consumer and industrial specialist consultants are ready to deliver tailored solutions to meet these needs.”
