R.Q, as it is structured today, was founded in Milan in 1993 by a group of professionals, researchers and company managers.

Over the years, the staff of R.Q has assisted hundreds of companies in their projects regarding technology and organisational development, while becoming more and more specialised in work related to industrial research and business innovation, to a point where they created their own method – a method which became the company’s name - “Research Qualification”. The technical abilities at R.Q are supported by a high use of business and technical networking with centres of excellence throughout the world. R.Q also has years of experience regarding obtaining eligibility for financial support programmes to finance the projects of their clients.

What makes R.Q stand out is that on top of offering the support required, it is often able to obtain unsupported financing, by making the most of Regional or Provincial financing regulations. The company’s main areas of competence are:

• Strategic planning for products and markets;
• Eligibility achievement for financing and financial planning;
• Internationalisation;
• Management control and business evaluation;
• Management systems.
