And it's nice to get recognition for how we do business, not just our great design! We've been shortlisted for the Export Innovation of the Year award 2019. The award is part of the Irish Exporters Association Export Industry Awards, which is happening on the 8th of November. We have been shortlisted, not only in recognition of the significant growth in our exports over the past few years, but also based on how we have leveraged the 'Discovery Process' to add value to our clients' new product development and R&D work. Our founder, [Sean McNulty](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-mcnulty-45532a14/), has spent years refining the best of 'design thinking' and 'lean product development' theories into a practicable methodology that delivers to the bottom line. This process has helped us accellerate new product growth for our clients across the world and in multiple industry sectors, bringing 'first to world' products to market that deliver to unmet and unrecognised user needs. Alongside multiple international design awards we have also generated numerous patents for our clients, adding significantly to their IP base.  We make ideas work.   Alongside our good selves, we have illustrious company in the 'Export Innovation of the Year' category: [Ardmac](https://www.ardmac.com/) , [Combilift](https://combilift.com/en/) , [Irish Dog Foods](http://www.irishdogfoods.com/) , [UrbanVolt](https://urbanvolt.com/) and [Ventac](https://www.ventac.com/). We wish all shortlisted nominees the best of luck on the night. Regardless of whether we win or not, we are delighted to be in such good company. Mine's a kir royale (we've clearly got notions now!!)...
