Ecohabitat Agri Services (Eco Habitat) is a pest management consultant company. With their expertise in this field, the business understood a need in the greenhouse industry for more efficient pest management solutions. With a solution under development, Eco Habitat turned to the Business and Commercialization Innovation Centre (BCIC) at Niagara College’s Research and Innovation to leverage their expertise to better understand market size for the solution as well as use case scenarios, that would support the product development phase for the technology.
BCIC worked with the business to gather and analyze both primary and secondary data to understand the potential size of the market and current pain points to support the prototyping stage. By providing vital commercialization expertise to complement the concurrent development of a new technology, BCIC was able to lower risk for the Eco Habitat and provide a clearer picture of markets for the greenhouse-related technology.
