Guidance on funding and incubation and a spring-board to nurture and develop start-ups
For many development projects the key challenge isn’t so much the technology but the finance. We will work with you to find funding for your project from the most appropriate source. We will support your activities by working with you throughout your project, helping make sure your project remains in budget throughout.
Bridge the gap and bring together SMEs, supply chains, OEMs, government and academia and technology
A key challenge for any company undertaking development is the assurance and confidence their idea will be one of the few successful innovations. To give you this confidence Minerva Rail will involve its network of policymakers, supply chain customers and OEMs to lend their world-class expertise and knowledge to your decision-making.
Deliver commercial solutions across all facets of industry, geographies and business
The Minerva Rail network is associated with the world’s railway – if there is a railway in the country we’ve probably worked there! This means we can deploy expertise and introduce you to potential suppliers and applications, together with an understanding of specific needs of a country’s railway and its individual requirements for testing, validation and innovation.
Applied research and development from initial idea, concept design, testing and industry roll-out
The whole teams wants to see ideas taking shape and improving the world’s railways and railway (and transport) systems. Minerva Rail is how we can do this, and Minerva Rail is your vehicle to accessing technologies you can develop for your business. We will work with you throughout the full development lifecycle and we look forward to celebrating your product launches in due course!
