Your innovation challenges

The pressure is mounting for innovation at pace. There is growing demand for faster innovation cycles but stakeholder challenges continue to slow progress. Complex science and technology struggles to cross the valley of death. Military and scientific communities speak different languages. Revolutionary concepts get filtered through outdated frameworks. Breakthrough discoveries remain trapped in research labs.

Without effective communication, even the best innovations can fail to reach the people who need them most.

We exist to solve this.

Working with the Canny team was a great experience. They got everything ready for us so quickly under some really tight deadlines, and the final animation was fantastic. It really brought to life what THURBON CEMA does and will be a great tool for communicating with our stakeholders.
