L Marks has established itself as a premier global innovation partner since its founding in 2014, with operational hubs in both the United Kingdom and United States. The firm has successfully designed and implemented more than 80 innovation programs across Europe, North America, and Asia, collaborating with industry titans such as BMW, Lloyd's of London, and Sodexo. Their expertise in fostering corporate innovation has earned them the trust of numerous Fortune 500 companies seeking to transform their approach to emerging technologies and business models.

The company's flagship offering, their award-winning Innovation Labs, has facilitated partnerships between established corporations and over 400 promising startups, achieving an impressive 70% deployment rate for new technologies and solutions. This matchmaking process enables corporations to access cutting-edge innovations while providing startups with invaluable market access, industry expertise, and potential investment opportunities. L Marks typically focuses on early to mid-stage startups with proven concepts ready for enterprise implementation, spanning sectors including fintech, insurtech, mobility, retail technology, and industrial innovation.

Beyond startup collaboration, L Marks has expanded its service portfolio to include comprehensive innovation ecosystem development. Their New Ventures unit operates a specialized Venture Studio that partners with corporations to identify, create, and scale new revenue-generating businesses from concept to market. Complementing this approach, their Intra-Lab services focus on transforming internal corporate culture to foster entrepreneurial thinking and innovation capabilities among existing teams. This dual approach addresses both external partnership opportunities and internal innovation capacity building.

L Marks has recently strengthened its innovation consulting capabilities through the strategic acquisition of The Inovo Group, a respected US-based consultancy with over two decades of experience in applying scientific research methodologies and advanced analytics to strategic innovation challenges. This acquisition enhances L Marks' advisory services with deeper analytical capabilities and expands their North American market presence. The combined entity now offers a comprehensive suite of innovation services spanning from initial strategy development through implementation, measurement, and scaling of successful initiatives across global markets.
