All too frequently, technology is developed without reference to its market prospects or full funding requirements.  To commercialise new technology LIFE uses a proprietary process called LIFE cycle.

LIFE cycle is a process to guide the entrepreneurs through the tasks required to produce a business that’s investment ready.  The process is geared towards putting in place everything needed to support a fully-fledged commercial operation, attract capital, provide satisfactory returns to investors and contribute to the stock of clean technology capital.

Our Client Relationships

LIFE expects to work closely with clients over a 12-18 month period, up to the completion of the acceleration process.  This calls for a sound working relationship based on mutual understanding and clearly-defined objectives.  A Case Manager will work through LIFE cycle with the client, specifying activities and milestones and ensuring work is completed to the required standard on time.
