Technology scouting and ecosystem intelligence
Landscape analyses of international innovation ecosystems, to find viable opportunities for growth.
What it is
We carry out multi-level landscape analyses of international innovation ecosystems, and evaluate deep-tech concepts across advanced fields, including nanotechnology, advanced materials, non-destructive testing, robotics and AI, to identify viable opportunities for global market growth.
We also help build multilateral innovation ecosystems, evaluating political support structures to make place-based collaboration easier and drive regional and global economic growth.
Who it is for
We work with research-active companies, universities, research technology organisations and innovation agencies.
How we deliver it
-
Search brief
The challenge in a page: the function you need, the performance and cost targets, the constraints, and what “good enough” looks like. A sharp brief decides the quality of everything after it.
-
Landscape search
Patents, scientific literature, funded projects, start-up and investor databases, standards bodies and expert interviews, across the regions where the strongest work is happening.
-
Long list to shortlist
Each candidate technology or partner scored against agreed criteria: technical maturity (TRL), fit, cost, intellectual property position, supply chain and the organisation behind it.
-
Engagement
Introductions to the shortlisted organisations, first conversations and, where useful, non-disclosure agreements, so the scouting turns into a relationship rather than a report.
-
Ecosystem map and next steps
The landscape, the shortlist with evidence, the gaps nobody fills yet, and a recommended route: licensing, joint development, a funded collaboration or building it yourself.
