How Can I Use Innovation DB to Discover Examples of New and Emerging Technologies?
How Does Innovation DB Make Finding Examples of New and Emerging Technologies Easier?
Trying to find an emerging technology that fits your objectives and requirements can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are many hurdles to be overcome when looking for new and emerging technologies to supplement your novel product idea or research and development. However, Innovation DB’s database streamlines this process. Innovation DB is a convenient tool your business can use to find relevant information and the output of research to aid your projects.
The Problem with Traditional Ways to Scout for Technology:
The first problem is the sheer volume of research out there, and that research institutions create and publish huge amounts of additional research daily. Moreover, most academic research doesn’t have a commercial application, further increasing the work needed to find the pool of relevant information you need.
Then, if you do find examples of new and emerging technologies relevant to your work that you’d like to explore further, there are other issues you may face. Once information is in the public domain, an idea cannot be protected legally – and researchers love to publish articles. This can become a major problem if you’re looking to implement said research into your own commercial project, which then needs to be patented.
Most research is of course early-stage work from a commercial point of view, so - after discovering something relevant and applicable - you must liaise with the academics to see if they are interested in collaborating on your commercial project. Many will not be. This again increases your workload in identifying the information that can be utilised by your organisation.
Innovation DB Can Help:
This is where Innovation DB is different – our database takes care of these tasks for you. Innovation DB finds, sorts and conveniently displays university research available worldwide that is relevant to your business, can be utilised commercially, can be legally protected, and – crucially – includes technologies being offered by the various institutions for application to your commercial need. This streamlined process means finding the new emerging technologies worldwide you require is possible with just a few clicks.
