Commercialization

Product Commercialization

Central to successful commercialization, the company employs the Stewart Tollgate product development process to both engineer and build the marketing foundation for new technology. The process serves to fully understand the needs of the market, document the physical, biological and chemical process of the system and evaluate the mechanical requirements for the engineering and specification of the system. Each stage of the process proves or disproves assumptions made in the previous stage through alpha and beta system designs as well as a continually updated and costed bill of materials, high voice of customer and laboratory analysis. The process fully examines the market and continually builds upon the marketing foundation through each phase. This iterative process ensures that the product can be made to meet the customer and regulatory demands at a marketable price. The Stewart Tollgate process is a risk-averse way of bringing a product to market.

Funding Assistance

Financing is often one of the toughest components of infrastructure projects. Add new technology, new market frontiers and applications, and the financial component will often doom a project. Stewart Environmental has a depth of experience and success in assisting customers in obtaining proper financing, including low-interest loans, loan guarantees, grants, and equity partnership arrangements. The company has built relationships with traditional financial institutions, venture capitalists, angel investors, state and federal agencies, as well as technology companies that have complementary skill sets, market knowledge and intellectual property.
