Our mission is to help organisations disclose their innovation potentials by developing their ability to create and harness knowledge assets. Our ambition is to provide our clients with sustainable and durable innovation readiness, based on an increased level of effectiveness of value-creating processes: R&D, New Product Development, Commercialisation of New Technologies and Communication.

K2M is a Lindau (Bodensee) based company in the innovative triangle of Germany, Austria and Switzerland with multidisciplinary experience of researchers and managers who, for over twenty years, have engaged in global challenges, and who have realised the importance of the close interaction between the producers of knowledge and its consumers.

We are a network of business and technology professionals, economists, marketeers, working closely with graphic designers and artists who envision the societal value of technological innovation and understand that most of the knowledge being produced by creative scientists and engineers lies inertly embedded into prototypes or pilot projects, inaccessible to those who could benefit from it. We are committed to helping translate these valuable assets into products and services that can be delivered to wider communities of end users.

K2M awarded a study on the entrepreneurial dimension of cultural and creative industries

15 July 2009

K2M together with Hogeschool vor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU) and Eurokleis Srl have been awarded a study on the entrepreneurial dimension of cultural and creative industries in Europe

This study aims to provide the European Commission with a better understanding of the operations and specific needs of companies in the cultural and creative industries, especially SMEs. It will consider environmental factors, in particular regulatory issues, which influence the development of these companies, as well as access to finance and entry barriers. Research and development is an area of particular interest. A specific focus is on identifying and highlighting the transversal challenges facing these enterprises, regardless of the cultural and creative industry to which they belong, and, as far as possible, pinpoint problems more specifically linked to each of the industries concerned.

Profits for publishers in making books accessible to all

23 May 2008

ICT results featured the EUAIN project where K2M has provided innovation management expertise. Here the story:

Many people have no access to most published books. European researchers are trying to remedy this by adapting new technologies to provide accessibility on demand for the visually impaired.

The dream is to make all new publications simultaneously available in formats such as Braille, large print and audio. This will mean the blind, the partially sighted and those suffering from reading disabilities such as dyslexia have the same access rights to information as the rest of society.

While the driving force behind the research is helping the ‘print impaired’, who make up between 6-8% of all Europeans, a substantial and hence profitable new mainstream market is also being created.

The EU-funded EUAIN project and its successors have brought together the publishing industry in Europe with accessibility organisations for the first time, and a whole new type of publishing is in the process of being created as a result. >>
