Joint material development
Joint material development with HeiQ is a phased collaboration that takes your idea toward a validated, launch-ready material.
Joint material development with HeiQ is a phased collaboration that takes your idea toward a validated, launch-ready material. Through a Joint Development Agreement (JDA), we define shared milestones, run focused proof-of-concept work, and make go or no-go decisions at each stage. You work directly with HeiQ experts and facilities, following a clear and transparent IP framework.
Joint Development Agreements (JDAs) bring partners and HeiQ teams together to develop solutions side by side, with direct, day‑to‑day access to HeiQ experts.

HeiQ turns biological processes into scalable chemistries for everyday products. These formulations act during use, for example breaking down odours on surfaces, keeping fabrics fresher, or improving how ingredients spread and stay active. They combine biology, chemistry, and material science to build delivery systems such as encapsulation, where ingredients release over time or under use conditions.
The result is consistent performance in real products across home care, textiles, and other applications.
