Innovation Scout is a new business established to identify unmet needs which other businesses could exploit as opportunities for new products and services. A key plank of their work is to identify opportunities in the low carbon economy.
Terra Infirma has carried out some initial scouting, contributing a range of business opportunities. For example, if electric vehicles become commonplace, who is going to provide breakdown services, who will deal with shock hazards in the event of an accident and who will service and repair the vehicles? These are all potential business opportunities in a fast expanding market.
