STA*Research - Specialist Consultants To The Petrochemical Industry
About Us
STA*Research was formed in 1996 by Ken Sinclair as a consultancy with a specialized focus:
the strategic interpretation of technology
Initially, we focused on the global polyolefins industry, leveraging Ken's 20 years of consulting expertise in this domain to provide strategic guidance to polyethylene and polypropylene producers. Almost 25 years later, our focus has broadened to cover two domains: Materials and Motility.
The Climate-Driven Transformation
Like it or not, the world has entered a period of rapid transformation that will endure for the next two to three decades. This transformation will lead us not just to sustainability but to a carbon-neutral world. The transformation will follow multiple paths, many of them founded on technology. To know where a path leads we need to understand the technology that drives it.
Our Primary Objective
The primary aim of STA*Research is to provide the industry with insights into the role of technology and its exploitation in the achievement of competitive advantage. In a time of rapid transformation it is essential to know which technologies are leading change, what are their potential effects on the world, and what is on the immediate horizon for each technology.We analyze emerging technologies and their relevance to markets, products and applications, leveraging our extensive data bases and proprietary methodologies to deliver specialized advice on strategy development and enhanced sustainability.
