Structured to match the scope and urgency of your challenge.
A focused 2–4 week engagement delivering a market and technology landscape assessment, opportunity map, and written recommendation with qualification pathway.
An ongoing monthly retainer providing strategic counsel on materials R&D direction, partner evaluation, investment prioritization, and competitive positioning.
Project-based engagement covering partner strategy, co-development framework, supplier qualification, customer VOC, and full qualification and go-to-market roadmap.
Ongoing strategic leadership across technology roadmap, innovation ecosystem, IP governance, team development, and commercialization execution — C-level materials expertise without the full-time cost.
Alternative structures available: milestone-based, hybrid base + success fee, and strategic development or licensing arrangements.
MatCore Solutions was founded on a straightforward observation: the gap between a promising material and a commercial product is where most companies lose time, money, and momentum. Bridging that gap requires a rare combination — deep polymer science, commercial judgment, ecosystem relationships, and process discipline. Most companies can't find all four in one place.
Javed Mapkar, PhD built his career doing exactly that. Over 18+ years at Eaton Corporation and Daikin America, he led global R&D teams, structured multi-party ecosystem agreements, secured government funding, launched new material platforms, and connected polymer innovation to commercial outcomes across aerospace, defense, electrification, semiconductor, and advanced manufacturing markets.
MatCore brings that experience directly to clients — as a senior technical thought partner, a strategic advisor, or a Fractional Chief Materials Officer — at the pace and flexibility that a consulting engagement allows.
Deep application knowledge across the industries defining the next generation of high-performance products.
