Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Launchfire Interactive Inc.
$50,000.00
ICAP - UK Channel Partnerships
FY 2019-20 · 2019-06-14
Summary
International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project
Launchfire is looking to penetrate the UK market with its game-based learning SaaS, Lemonade. As the UK presents some logistical challenges for a solely Canada-based company, forging a channel partnership will likely prove the most effective way to enter, and service the market. For the right partner, our platform would present an excellent opportunity for them to expand their business by adding learning management to their core offering. To ready Lemonade for the UK market we’ll need to work with our partner to make the platform GDRP compliant. This will involve both programming and infrastructure work which will be shared amongst the two companies.

Description (French)
Le projet Launchfire du Programme d'action international de co-innovationvise (PAIC) cherche à pénétrer le marché britannique avec son apprentissage SaaS basé sur le jeu, Lemonade. Comme le Royaume-Uni présente certains défis logistiques pour une entreprise basée uniquement au Canada, forger un partenariat de distribution sera probablement le moyen le plus efficace d'entrer dans le marché et d'en assurer le service. Pour le bon partenaire, notre plate-forme serait une excellente occasion pour lui d'étendre ses activités en ajoutant la gestion d'apprentissage à son offre de base. Pour préparer Lemonade pour le marché britannique, nous devrons travailler avec notre partenaire afin de rendre la plate-forme GDRP conforme. Il s'agira à la fois de programmation et de travaux d'infrastructure, qui seront partagés entre les deux entreprises.
