Please note – registration for this event is only available for new and existing food and drink manufacturers based in Wales, not for related organisations, consultants or students.

Who can attend

Our series of New Product Development workshops are introductory level sessions which are targeted towards early-stage businesses and start-ups.

2. New Product Development – The Stage Gate Process

New and existing product development is underpinned by the Stage Gate Process. Learn how to develop and implement your own stage gate to support effective development of products.

In this workshop we’ll look at each of the steps required for a successful product launch, from concept through to launch and beyond, including:

• What the Stage Gate process is and why it is used

• New product development versus existing product development

• What the steps within a Stage Gate process are and what you need to do

• How to build a bespoke Stage Gate process to suit your company, product and process

• A review of some product development success and failures

This workshop is ideal for companies who are looking to develop products and want to implement their own stage gate process or for those companies who already have one in place but want to improve on what they have or train other staff around the subject.

These interactive workshops will be held at ZERO2FIVE Food Industry Centre in Cardiff.

Whilst these workshops form a series, you can attend individual workshops to suit your business needs.

Attendance costs

Depending on your company size and eligibility, attendance at these workshops can be partially or fully funded.

The cost for each delegate attending the workshop will vary depending on the size of the company they work for. This is determined by Welsh Government funding regulations.
