For residents

Why locate your company at PDIHQ?

PDIHQ provides more than offices, laboratories, and engineering workshops. It places residents alongside other founders, engineers, scientists, product companies, and commercialisation specialists. This concentration of capability is designed to help companies solve problems faster, access knowledge they do not hold internally, identify suitable partners and suppliers, and progress towards commercial scale.

Expertise within reach

Residents will work alongside companies and specialists from different technical disciplines. When a challenge sits outside a company's internal capability, PDIHQ can help identify relevant experience within the resident group or wider partner network.

Commercialisation support on site

Pro-Dev will be co-located within PDIHQ, providing practical capability across product strategy, industrial design, mechanical engineering, CAD, prototyping, design for manufacture, supplier sourcing, tooling, manufacturing coordination, packaging, quality, compliance planning, and production scale-up. Residents can access the support they need without employing every specialist capability internally.

A network that reduces delays

PDIHQ will connect residents with manufacturers, technical specialists, universities, researchers, investors, funders, and professional advisers. These connections can reduce the time spent searching for suitable expertise and help companies avoid preventable commercialisation mistakes.

Opportunities to collaborate

Resident forums, technical discussions, curated introductions, and shared project spaces will create opportunities for companies to exchange knowledge, refer suppliers, and work together where there is a clear mutual benefit.

Greater visibility

PDIHQ will provide a structured setting for investor visits, industry demonstrations, partner meetings, and resident showcases. This gives companies greater opportunities to present their work to relevant funders, commercial partners, research organisations, and government agencies.

Your IP remains yours

Collaboration will always be optional. Residents decide what they share and with whom. Each company retains its intellectual property and equity, with private offices, appropriate access controls, and confidentiality arrangements supporting sensitive work.

How PDIHQ will support resident collaboration

These are planned operating mechanisms, not guaranteed outcomes:

  • Regular resident technical forums
  • Structured introductions between residents
  • Pro-Dev commercialisation office hours
  • Supplier and specialist referrals
  • Investor and industry showcase sessions
  • A resident capability directory
  • Shared problem-solving workshops
  • University and research-partner sessions
  • Optional project collaboration under appropriate confidentiality arrangements

Collaboration is optional and residents control what they disclose. Private work remains private. Introductions occur only where both parties agree, and non-disclosure agreements and access controls may be used. Each resident retains its intellectual property and equity. PDIHQ does not guarantee investment or commercial partnerships, and not every specialist a company needs will always be located inside the facility.
