How we work

At Ploughshare, we take a personal approach to working with our clients and partners. With multiple options to choose how you want to collaborate, we can tailor our services to suit your needs. Our team of experts are here to help – whether this is driving impact from your untapped Intellectual Property (IP), identifying new dual-use opportunities and markets to explore, embedding commercialisation expertise within your business, or diversifying your income streams for long-term revenue stability.

As the trusted IP commercialisation partner of the Ministry of Defence, with over 20 years’ experience unlocking the latent value of Defence-originated technologies, we help organisations identify high-potential ideas and transform them into market-ready IP propositions.

IP can get stuck at any point from concept to commercial impact, whether due to limited internal investment, unclear market pathways, or resource constraints. Our team can help you navigate these challenges and support your new technologies on their journey to market.

Our proven Discover, Liberate, and Scale framework is purpose-built to break through the common barriers public and private organisations face when trying to deliver new technologies to their full potential. This framework doesn’t just organise activity; it enables clarity, consistency, and measurable progress.

We work intuitively across complex, secure, and deep technical environments, combining domain insight with commercial expertise to demystify opportunities, open new markets and activate new revenue streams.
