Case Study: Oldcastle Infrastructure builds an R&D pipeline and expands expert reach with Halo

Oldcastle Infrastructure reaches 3,200 experts and wins 3 projects with Halo

Oldcastle Infrastructure, a leading manufacturer of urban infrastructure solutions and part of the Fortune 500 company CRH, faced the challenge of building a new product R&D pipeline without having an internal R&D team. Their previous ad-hoc approach to finding research partners was time-intensive and ineffective. To address this, they turned to Halo's platform for tech scouting and partnering to systematically find collaborators for a new stormwater filtration product.

Using Halo, Oldcastle connected with over 3,200 experts and received more than 60 proposals for a single RFP within eight weeks. This allowed them to efficiently select and fund three university research projects without increasing their budget or internal overhead. The solution provided by Halo enabled Oldcastle to jumpstart its R&D practice and address a multi-billion dollar market opportunity without the cost of building an internal team.
