Welcome to Tech-K.O.
Tech-K.O. helps clients move their transportation decarbonization solutions to market. New solutions often require specialized support to overcome barriers to market entry, as the established policies and infrastructure that define the transportation sector can be long-lived and unaccommodating of disruptive innovation.
Tech-K.O. provides that support.
We develop and implement comprehensive strategies to promote the adoption of our clients’ solutions. In addition to technical analysis and our knowledge of the industry, we draw on our experience in narrative development to tell a compelling story that achieves the rational and emotional resonance necessary to move things forward.
We assist clients with:
- business case and value proposition development
- policy development and advocacy
- presentations and briefings to private and public sector decision makers
- communications and promotion
- media and public engagement
- stakeholder engagement
- learning sessions
- materials development and production
We believe that moving practical solutions to market is key to decarbonizing transportation. A healthy bias toward innovation in fuels, technologies and infrastructure is necessary to successfully deliver mobility services with society’s evolving needs in mind.
