Large enterprises face structural constraints in translating new business development into long-term scalable businesses. Opportunity identification is often technology-led rather than demand-driven, with limited early involvement of enterprise customers and operators. This results in extended validation timelines, insufficient real-world testing, and low conversion rates from concept to commercialization.
​
Over the past decade, Trusted has collaborated with leading European enterprises on new business development and commercialization. Inspired by their models and approaches, Trusted Studio is an enterprise-to-enterprise focused structured commercialization program designed to address this gap.
​
It enables enterprises to identify, develop, test, and scale new business opportunities through early market validation, collaboration with enterprise partners and decision-makers, and direct integration into European industrial ecosystems.
Program Formats
Ecosystem Exploration
Designed for enterprises in the early stages of new business development, this format focuses on identifying market-driven opportunity areas, defining use-case concepts, and engaging relevant ecosystem partners to assess long-term business opportunities.
​
Market Validation
Designed for enterprises with more mature technologies, this format enables structured validation with enterprise partners to test use cases under real conditions, assess commercial viability, and define pathways for scaling.
Opportunity Identification and Scaling Model
IDENTIFICATION OF TECH AND R&D PRIORITIES
Define high-potential opportunities based on real market demand and clear deployment criteria, translating internal technologies and priorities into commercially relevant use cases for exploration or testing
​
ECOSYSTEM VALIDATION & PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Explore or test selected concepts with enterprise partners and decision-makers under real market and operational conditions, using pre-defined criteria to assess commercial viability.
​
NEW BUSINESS CREATION AND SCALING
Develop validated initiatives into scalable, revenue-generating business opportunities, with pathways for integration into existing business units, expansion with partners, or independent spin-offs.

The Studio operates within a broad set of European innovation ecosystems, involving enterprise partners, technology developers, research institutions, and public stakeholders.
These ecosystems are engaged throughout the entire process from identification, validation, and development of new business opportunities, enabling collaboration, early validation, and alignment with real market and regulatory conditions.
Outcomes and Benefits
Parallel Opportunity Testing
Participants develop and test multiple use cases in parallel, enabling faster identification of high-potential opportunities and early filtering based on defined validation criteria.
​
Direct Enterprise Validation
Concepts are developed and tested through direct collaboration with leading enterprise partners and decision-makers, providing immediate feedback on feasibility, integration, and commercial relevance.
​
Scaling and Partnership Pathways
Validated initiatives are advanced through clear pathways for scaling, including integration into existing business units, expansion through strategic partnerships, or the creation of joint ventures or independent entities.
​
Development Of Proprietary Long-Term Innovation Frameworks
Participating enterprises build internal capabilities in ecosystem-led business development while establishing structured, repeatable frameworks for identifying, validating, and scaling new opportunities.
