In a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies are no longer relying entirely on their own research to drive innovation, but are instead buying, licensing, or partnering with other companies.

We provide clients and partners with a rapid and efficient service for discovering external innovations to address their business challenges. Because our service is driven by our proprietary company discovery engine, we are able to offer several advantages over traditional approaches:

Scale and speed: We do not rely on a personal or crowd network that is limited in size and engagement of network members, or which may not contain relevant expertise. Our methodology draws from a wider universe of potential candidates and can be carried out more rapidly.

Consistent process: Our pro-active methodology is equally efficiently applied across all sectors, meaning we can offer a consistent standard of results from search to search.

Cross-sector solutions: We cover all sectors, meaning we can locate solutions that may not be in obvious sectors or are outside your area of expertise.

Confidential service: All our searches are carried out in confidence, meaning that there is no need to publicise the nature of your internal development efforts or competitive weaknesses.

Analyst screening: Our searches are powered by our technology and are also directed and screened by an experienced analyst to prioritise the most relevant candidates and contextualise their relevance.
