Applied Research and Development

Applied Research and Development (R&D) involves creating new products, processes, or technologies to solve specific problems or meet particular needs. Unlike basic research, which explores fundamental principles, applied R&D focuses on practical applications—turning scientific discoveries into tangible solutions. This process often includes designing prototypes, testing, refining, and scaling innovations for real-world use. It’s commonly used in industries like technology, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing to bring new ideas from concept to market, aiming to improve existing products or create entirely new offerings that benefit consumers and businesses alike.
