    Solvers is an experience design agency that specializes in creating websites and apps for brave global brands and ambitious growing startups. With a team of more than 30 digital designers and developers based in Dublin, London, Prague, Toronto, and New York we work collaboratively with clients all over the world to design and development solutions customers already want. Since 2016, we have worked with clients in a variety of industries including financial services, e-Commerce, and media and entertainment. We support our clients through any stage of the experience design process, whether that be proving new ideas, creating and validating new solutions or improving existing solutions. However, unlike other agencies who neglect consumer feedback and rush into the development of solutions, we validate the user experience of our solutions before we write a single line of code. To validate the user experience of our solutions, we help our clients connect directly to the wants, needs, and pains of their users through user research, integrated user testing and prototyping - testing early and often with real people to gather feedback about our designs. Only after users have accepted a solution do we begin to build. This approach forms a co-creation triangle of Solvers, our clients, and their users, and helps us stay in touch with business and user needs throughout the entire process. In our experience, working like this improves the effectiveness, performance, and acceptance of the solutions we are designing by the intended users. As a result, we create more than just websites and apps, we create experiences users already want. As a full-service experience design agency, our range of services includes design thinking workshops, UX research, user testing, digital prototyping, UX design, UI design, web development, backend development, mobile development and more.

Frequently Asked Questions.


In Ireland's dynamic business environment, successful innovation consulting firms stand out through several key characteristics:

  1. Deep local market understanding: Top Irish innovation consultancies possess an intimate knowledge of the country's business ecosystem, including key industries like technology, pharmaceuticals, and financial services. This local expertise allows them to provide tailored solutions that resonate with Irish companies and their unique challenges.
  2. Cross-industry expertise: Successful firms in Ireland often have experience across multiple sectors, allowing them to cross-pollinate ideas and bring fresh perspectives to their clients. This breadth of knowledge is particularly valuable in a small but diverse market like Ireland.
  3. Strong international networks: Given Ireland's position as a hub for multinational corporations, leading innovation consultancies maintain robust global connections. This allows them to bring international best practices and insights to local projects while also helping Irish companies expand globally.
  4. Emphasis on digital transformation: With Ireland's reputation as a tech hub, top innovation consulting firms excel in leveraging cutting-edge technologies. They help clients navigate digital transformation, incorporating AI, blockchain, and other emerging technologies into their innovation strategies.
  5. Collaborative approach: Successful consultancies in Ireland often adopt a highly collaborative model, working closely with clients to co-create solutions rather than simply providing advice. This approach aligns well with the relationship-oriented business culture in Ireland.
  6. Focus on sustainability: As Ireland commits to ambitious climate goals, leading innovation consultancies are increasingly integrating sustainability into their service offerings, helping clients innovate in ways that are both profitable and environmentally responsible.
  7. Agility and adaptability: The most successful firms demonstrate the ability to pivot quickly in response to market changes or client needs. This agility is crucial in Ireland's fast-paced business environment, particularly in sectors like tech and pharma.
  8. Strong track record of measurable results: Top firms in Ireland can point to concrete, quantifiable outcomes from their projects. For example, a recent study by Enterprise Ireland found that companies working with innovation consultants saw an average increase in export sales of 67% over three years.
  9. Investment in talent development: Leading consultancies prioritize continuous learning and development for their teams. Many partner with Irish universities and institutes of technology to stay at the forefront of innovation practices and to attract top talent.
  10. Cultural fit: Successful firms understand and align with the unique aspects of Irish business culture, including its emphasis on personal relationships, storytelling, and long-term thinking.

By embodying these characteristics, top innovation consulting firms in Ireland position themselves as valuable partners in driving growth and competitiveness for their clients in both the domestic and global markets.



Innovation consulting can be a game-changer for Irish organizations looking to enhance their adaptability and resilience in the face of market disruptions. Here's how innovation consultants can help:

  1. Strategic Foresight: Innovation consultants use advanced methodologies to help Irish companies anticipate future trends and potential disruptions. This proactive approach allows organizations to prepare for various scenarios and adapt their strategies accordingly.
  2. Agile Transformation: Consultants can guide Irish businesses in implementing agile methodologies, enabling them to respond quickly to market changes. This is particularly relevant in Ireland's dynamic tech and pharma sectors.
  3. Digital Transformation: With Ireland being a hub for tech giants, innovation consultants can help traditional businesses leverage digital technologies to improve processes, enhance customer experiences, and create new business models.
  4. Innovation Culture: Consultants work to foster a culture of innovation within organizations, encouraging employees at all levels to contribute ideas and embrace change. This is crucial in Ireland's collaborative business environment.
  5. Cross-Industry Insights: Innovation consultants bring valuable cross-sector knowledge, helping Irish companies learn from best practices in other industries and apply them to their own challenges.
  6. Risk Management: By identifying potential risks and opportunities, consultants help Irish organizations develop robust contingency plans and diversification strategies.
  7. Innovation Ecosystems: Consultants can help Irish companies build and participate in innovation ecosystems, leveraging Ireland's strong network of universities, research institutes, and startups.
  8. Sustainable Innovation: With Ireland's commitment to sustainability, consultants can guide organizations in developing eco-friendly innovations that align with global trends and regulations.

According to a 2023 survey by Enterprise Ireland, 78% of Irish companies that engaged innovation consultants reported improved resilience to market changes within 18 months. This underscores the tangible benefits of innovation consulting for Irish organizations seeking to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape.



Measuring the Return on Investment (ROI) of engaging with an innovation consulting agency is crucial for Irish businesses to justify their investment and ensure they're getting value for money. Here are some effective ways to measure the ROI:

  1. Financial Metrics:
    • Increase in revenue from new products or services
    • Cost savings from improved processes
    • Market share growth
    • Reduction in time-to-market for new offerings
  2. Innovation Performance Indicators:
    • Number of new ideas generated
    • Percentage of ideas that reach implementation
    • Patents filed or granted
    • Success rate of new product launches
  3. Operational Improvements:
    • Increased productivity
    • Reduced waste or inefficiencies
    • Improved customer satisfaction scores
    • Enhanced employee engagement and retention rates
  4. Long-term Strategic Benefits:
    • New market entry success
    • Improved brand perception and reputation
    • Enhanced ability to attract top talent
    • Increased adaptability to market changes

To effectively measure these metrics, Irish businesses should:

  1. Set Clear Objectives: Define specific, measurable goals before engaging with an innovation consulting agency.
  2. Establish Baselines: Measure current performance levels to compare against post-engagement results.
  3. Use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Develop a set of KPIs aligned with your business objectives and industry standards.
  4. Implement Tracking Systems: Utilize project management tools and analytics platforms to monitor progress and outcomes.
  5. Conduct Regular Reviews: Schedule periodic assessments to evaluate the impact of the consulting engagement.

It's important to note that some benefits of innovation consulting may be intangible or have a longer-term impact. According to a study by the Innovation Value Institute based in Maynooth University, Irish companies that invest in innovation capabilities see an average of 13% increase in productivity and 11% growth in sales within two years.

Moreover, Enterprise Ireland reports that Irish SMEs engaging with innovation consultants have seen up to a 30% increase in their export potential. This demonstrates the significant impact that effective innovation consulting can have on Irish businesses' global competitiveness.

Remember, ROI measurement should be tailored to your specific business goals and industry context. It's advisable to work closely with your chosen innovation consulting agency to define appropriate metrics and establish a robust measurement framework that aligns with your company's strategic objectives and the unique challenges of the Irish market.
