aboutus

Optimal Innovation Group Inc. was originally formed in 2012 under the name Optimal Science Consulting Inc., but our objectives remain the same:  helping small and mid-sized tech companies get the expert advising and decision-making support they need to access the market and accelerate business growth through innovation. 

It's a challenging era for technology companies to stay competitive, and it's really hard to build an enviable brand while growing your company on a tight budget. That's why you need experienced advisers to help you make smart, strategic decisions. We are seasoned commercialization professionals who have experienced up-and-down cycles of business, and we understand your pain. We are committed to sharing our collective knowledge, expertise and expansive networks to help entrepreneurs reach their growth goals with sound advice and proven strategies for success.
