From Science To Story
How to Translate Technical Expertise into Market Value
The biggest challenge for innovative companies isn’t creating breakthrough products: it’s explaining their value. Too often, technical expertise is buried in complexity, while markets demand clarity, credibility, and compelling narratives. This gap between science and strategy can determine whether an innovation becomes a market leader or gets lost in translation.
Why It Matters
In today’s competitive landscape, innovation alone is not enough.
Consumers expect transparency and clarity about what makes a product different.
Investors fund businesses that can articulate a clear strategy and growth potential.
B2B companies need to understand how innovation translates into measurable value.
The brands that stand out are not always the ones with the most advanced technology, but the ones that can transform technical excellence into a story that resonates.
Lost in Translation
Scientists speak in formulas, processes, and evidence.
Marketers speak in emotions, lifestyles, and brand differentiation.
When these languages don’t align, innovations risk being overlooked. A breakthrough ingredient becomes jargon. A powerful technology fails to connect with its audience.
The value of innovation is not in the formula, it’s in the story that makes the formula relevant.

What It Looks Like in Practice
