How we deploy scouting


1. Define Your Innovation Needs
We begin by understanding your innovation goals. Whether it’s strengthening your IP portfolio, solving a complex technical problem, or entering new application areas—our team collaborates with you to define what success looks like.

2. Market Intelligence
There can be no innovation without full awareness of the technology landscape. To develop truly disruptive solutions, it’s essential to understand existing technologies and how they are evolving. Leading companies stay ahead by continuously analyzing new innovations, benchmarking them against current solutions, and tracking industry shifts that signal future opportunity

3 & 4. Evaluate, Prioritize and Match Opportunities
All scouting results are evaluated against strategic fit, market potential, and technical feasibility. We deliver a short list of high-value targets—ready for engagement, co-development, or acquisition.​
