Innovation is at the core of Technature’s growth strategy, blending creativity, pragmatism, and technical expertise. Our Research and Development (R&D) department consistently explores new technologies, trends, and raw materials, conceptualizing and designing new products multiple times a year.
Today, 16% of Technature’s workforce—28 people—are dedicated to R&D, up from 12 in 2017. Their mission is to formulate innovative products, concepts, and processes that meet market and regulatory demands while aligning with our clients’ needs.
At Technature, innovation goes beyond technology; it incorporates human factors and interpersonal communication. Céline Cotterel, head of R&D, explains «Innovation means leading the way, not following trends. We rely on proactive communication across departments, fostering a culture of ‘demanding kindness’ to make the best decisions together.»
