We focus on one thing: taking proven technology to the companies that will use it. Owners of a technology at readiness level 6 or above on one side, the companies that adopt it on the other, and LDV in the middle of every service, so the work on one side moves the other forward.
For inventive companies
You have the technology.
Companies with a technology that already works, at readiness level 6 or above, and more markets to reach, wherever they are based.
Access to the large organisations that can adopt your technology, from global leaders to regional players in the industries where it fits: supply, licensing or co-development agreements, qualified on the adopter's existing lines, and where it makes sense the way to a strategic partnership or acquisition.

End to end support
One partner for the whole process, from competitor benchmarking to managing the transfer with every company that adopts. Your engineers answer the technical questions; we carry the search, the introductions and the negotiation.

In the middle
LDV, the innovators.
Each service on one side turns a service on the other, through us.
I
LDV in the middle
Both sides of the market
We work for technology owners and adopters at the same time, so every search we run for a large company is also a route to market for a technology we know, and the reverse.
II
LDV in the middle
Fit, checked both ways
We test the technology against the adopter's criteria and the adopter against the owner's goals, so neither side spends a meeting on a poor match.
III
LDV in the middle
Introductions that carry weight
The adopter knows we have screened the technology, and the owner knows the need is real. That is what an introduction from the middle is worth.
IV
LDV in the middle
Terms from the middle
Because we know what each side needs from the deal, we bring the technology owner to the adopter's standard terms and help the owner meet them.
For large companies
You need the technology.
Corporations, conglomerates, OEMs and their tier-one suppliers looking outside for a technology that already works.
Technology scouting
A worldwide search for the capability you need, across industries, including the ones you would not think to look in.

Screening and verified profiles
Every candidate at readiness level 6 or above, checked for scale and fit and profiled with facts verified at source, so each decision rests on evidence.

Introductions and showcases
Meetings with the strongest candidates, with both sides briefed beforehand, so the first conversation is already specific.

Inventive companies leave withRevenue, a committed partner and a new market for the technology.
Sealed in the middle.
Every service on both sides leads here: the owner and the adopter sign one agreement, and LDV, the gear between them, brings them to the table and shapes the terms.
Everything either side shows us is read under a signed confidentiality agreement, before the first page.
Large companies leave withA technology that already works, ready to adopt, on terms they helped set.
Why LDV
Narrow in focus. Wide in reach.

One focus
Technology commercialisation and adoption. Nothing else competes for our attention.
No borders
We search and make introductions across Europe, North America, Asia, the Gulf, India and beyond. Where a technology is dual-use or export-controlled we check the destination before any introduction, and we respect the territories where an owner already has partners.
