From research programmes to commercial products.
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Digital Tactics. We build and lead international research consortiums that bring together universities, SMEs and large enterprises to tackle complex technical challenges. Our experience spans EUREKA clusters, Horizon Europe programmes, Innovate UK competitions and national funding bodies across the UK and Europe.
Whether you need a technical partner to join an existing consortium, guidance on forming a new one, or end-to-end support taking a concept from feasibility study through to a revenue-generating product, we provide the engineering leadership, project management and domain expertise to make it happen. We have delivered confidential technical advice and build services to organisations ranging from FTSE-listed broadcasters to early-stage startups since 2011.

"Digital Tactics completed a detailed audit of the application and produced a recommendations report with short, medium and long term goals; the skills and professionalism they showed throughout this exercise are why we engaged with them to further implement these recommendations. I would be happy to endorse Digital Tactics for their skills in Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP; as well as their project management of the whole software development lifecycle."
