Our approach

Teamwork Technology develops new businesses and organisations. We develop innovative products from a strong market vision on sustainable energy and house them in new organisations that grow to independent, successful companies.

Since 1993 Teamwork has built up an extensive portfolio of projects that contribute to making our society more sustainable. We have built our core-business through the start-up of new businesses within the sustainable energy market.

 

From idea to business

It is one thing to talk a lot about innovation but in the end it comes down to two words: DO IT….and do it by taking the right steps. Teamwork has developed an methodology based on years of experience as a pioneer in the renewable energy sector.

Professional and personal guidance to bring a new concept to the business phase is crucial. Often the owner of the idea is not the right person to make a company operational. During the process the influence of the conceptual thinkers reduces, while the influence of the commercial people increases.

In the development of an idea into a business Teamwork Technology distinguishes four phases:

Concept

From a market vision a long-term need or opportunity is identified. A concept, which is often an ideal, is developed as solution for this.

Product

First step towards the market is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the concept. In the case of a technological innovation this could be the prototype of a device.

Project

Knowledge and IP (intellectual property) are housed in a seperate legal entity. This is the first step to independence. The entity, usually a private company, is set up by Teamwork Sustainable Investment (100% subsidiary of Teamwork Technology BV). The project phase is the most critical because here the shift from development to commercialisation has to be made. It is considered to be the defining phase in the development of the company in which the business model, organisational structure and market approach have to be determined. This phase is part financed by external investors (seed and venture capital).

Business

The company is now operational and the focus has shifted to growth in revenue and market position. In this phase Teamwork Technology consciously moves out of the way and sells its stake in the company. The role as shareholder comes to an end after a few years. New shareholders with knowledge about and interest in deeper market penetration and expansion take over and Teamwork reinvests its capital in new concepts. Thus the loop is closed.
