The firm
Innovo, ergo ero
I innovate, therefore I will be. Upperion helps organisations envision the future, prepare for it and transform to grow.
Our story
Innovation tracking, from Toulouse to Europe
Upperion was born from an observation: innovation promises a lot (disruption, competitiveness, opportunities) but reality is harsher: disruptions are rare, analysis is heavy and complex, and the obstacles to adoption, deployment and top-management approval are many.
So we built a method, the A-I-P framework, and a practice: sourcing, adaptation, assessment, pre-deployment. For agencies, ministries, European programmes, federations and manufacturers, from the municipality to the European Union.
