The Breakthrough Factory™ is a concept that helps large corporations create breakthrough innovations in a fast and cost-efficient manner. It is especially useful for mature companies with complex and long-lifecycle products, where conventional R&D programs often fail to deliver breakthroughs. The concept involves building effective capabilities to deliver breakthroughs and identifying key success factors. Companies that have successfully implemented the Breakthrough Factory™ concept have been able to solve grand industry challenges and produce industry breakthroughs. One of the key challenges is identifying game-changing future technologies and conducting research into basic science to find breakthroughs in both their own and other industries.
