Cost-Benefit Analysis

What does a cost-benefit analysis achieve?

The cost-benefit analysis is a valuable tool for creating a valid basis for decision-making regarding planned investments in Module 2 of the WIPANO funding program. In addition to evaluating technical innovation through a patent search, the economic viability and profitability of the invention are also considered from the outset.

The analysis thus serves to better assess the investment risk and avoid misinvestments in connection with the planned patenting or, if applicable, planned development activities. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection promotes and requires this analysis within the WIPANO funding program.

Systematic. Comprehensible. Transparent.

The analysis is systematic, comprehensible and transparent:

Identification of unique selling points
Documentation of the utilization scenario
Cost determination and analysis (development, patenting, licensing for license exploitation)
Determination and analysis of benefits (market volume, price, license rate for license exploitation, sales)
Profitability analysis
Conclusion with identification of risks

The scope and price of a cost-benefit analysis can vary greatly. Based on your needs, we will be happy to provide you with a specific offer that meets your requirements.

Compact and meaningful utilization scenarios

Neutral, well-founded and efficient – at fair conditions

Is it worth investing and developing the product to market maturity? How can it be ensured at an early stage that the costs will be refinanced in the future? How can obstacles on the way to the market be identified and removed in good time?

ATHENA’s independent and professional analysis provides you with a quick and cost-effective neutral assessment that reliably meets the BMWE’s requirements for WIPANO funding. With our technical, business and legal expertise, we offer you interdisciplinary competence at a reasonable price from a single source.

Our cost-benefit analyses meet the requirements of the WIPANO funding in Module 2

Each analysis is based on a compact exploitation scenario – in-house, cooperative or third-party exploitation through licensing or patent sales. It therefore helps with the targeted and profitable implementation of the innovation right from the start.

Thanks to our experience, the systematic and standardized approach and intelligent tool support, a cost-benefit analysis can be prepared very quickly.

Check the profitability of your idea on the basis of a cost-benefit analysis. Avoid bad investments through systematic sales and cost planning. Create a solid decision-making basis for your exploitation scenario.

We help you to implement your ideas profitably with years of expertise and experience and support you in developing a successful exploitation strategy with concrete figures and a reliable break-even analysis.
