Taking an idea and turning it into a product.

i2S offers its customers an INNOVATION PROCESS that is complete, flexible and economical.

• Complete because our departments cover all steps in the product design chain from product marketing to serial production.
  Like the i2S business units that have been using this process for a long time to the great satisfaction of their markets, major international customers entrust i2S Innovation to imagine, design, develop, industrialize, manufacture and maintain the vision products and sub-assemblies they need.
  
  
• Flexible, because our customers can enter or leave the innovation chain at any phase. In this way, i2S Innovation can enter into a KAISEN-type arrangement with its customers in which mutual confidence and learning take hold thereby minimizing development risks and fostering concurrent engineering processes.
  It is also flexible because our major equipment manufacturer customers and major account customers can use their own standards for project management. And, last but not least, the putting in place of a GO/NOGO contractual clause allows the partners to have constant control over their mutual commitments.
  
  
• Economical, because the return on intangible investments is the main benefit expected by our customers. To this end, i2S Innovation has developed 4 integrated engines into its project management that allow project development costs to be minimized:
  - Constant monitoring of the cost objective of the final product from the initial phases up until the start of production
  - A functional approach to the cost price of a product
  - Transparent tracking of project costs and progress status.
  - Financial engineering ranging from risk sharing by i2S, to collaborative financing, to PCRD-type (Research Framework Program) requests for proposals.
