Launching a product is a really complex task and in our experience, having the right team is the biggest factor in the success of a product design project. Therefore we don't just call anyone "partners", but will only recommend tried and tested people who share the same values and zeal for overcoming problems as we do.
This Realise network includes:
ML Electronics
Creative Electronic Design Consultancy & Manufacturing
We've selected ML Electronics as a key partner, based on their unusually creative approach to electronic development and the success of projects we've worked on together. They always work to understand the business case for a new electronic product and sensibly guide the design towards a feasible but interesting design. It also helps that their 5 stage design process perfectly matches ours and that they are great people to work with.

Medical Device Usability Consultancy
Recently added to our partner's list, MDU are the kind of usability experts that we have been looking for since we began Realise. We're already develop user-focused products, but designing for medical standards can be onerous and it is great news for our medical clients that we can call on MDU to ensure compliance and build the right evidence for marketing to healthcare providers like the NHS. They are a great addition to the team.

Independent Composites
Independent Composites are another excellent, down to earth bunch who are inventive and generally get things done – and they're located right on the wharf side in the old Bristol Docks! Dan the owner has spent countless hours patching up high performance yachts, or making moulds for mad carbon fibre rigs – What they don't know about epoxy, Kevlar, carbon fibre, vacuum infusion, foams and honeycomb cores… is not worth knowing.

M2ED
Naval Architects & Structural Engineers
Our trusted engineers at M2ED provide naval architecture, composite design and structural engineering services. Being naval architects, we've found M2ED to be fantastically practical, sensible and creative as engineers – right on our wavelength. Talking of wave lengths, M2ED is based in Cornwall and we're usually extremely jealous to hear that they've been surfing in the morning before cracking on with some FE analysis for us.

People and Google love the sites they build.
