Rethink Your Technology Search: Faster, Smarter, More Effective

Traditional technology search methods are time-consuming and costly. They often involve attending industry conferences, conducting market research, analyzing patent filings, and engaging with startups and tech companies. The goal is to stay ahead of emerging technologies, uncover innovation opportunities, and maintain a competitive edge.

Efficient and targeted technology scouting delivers faster, more actionable insights - helping you navigate the tech landscape with precision and impact.

Discover our approach!

To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape, our technology scouting approach provides a structured, clear, and comprehensive overview of relevant technologies across industries. Equipping you with the insights needed to drive successful R&D innovation.

By combining human expertise with an AI-powered platform, our scouts conduct highly targeted research using Natural Language Processing (NLP). This approach enables them to extract valuable insights from millions of trusted sources, including scientific publications, patents, reports, and company websites.

Our structured 3-meeting process provides clear, targeted insights within 8 weeks:

  1. Intake Meeting - Together we define your challenge, asking the right questions and align on scope. This gives us the input for the first scouting phase, in which we will conduct a structured analysis to identify relevant technologies.
  2. Midway Meeting - We review initial findings together and refine focus for the second scouting phase, where we will do in-depth analysis of key technologies, suppliers, and publications.
  3. Results Meeting - We present the final insights, and once we're back at the office, we'll promptly finalize and deliver the results!
