Technology Scouting

In many industries, the dynamic advancement of traditional technologies and, in particular, the emergence of new technologies mean that companies can no longer secure a successful future based solely on their existing technological expertise. Instead, they must make new technologies available, navigate learning curves, and often enter into partnerships with companies in other technical fields in order to become “fit for the future.” Just think of the introduction of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), or so-called “big data” applications in a number of industries where this was not an issue in the past.

Expertise

In many cases, however, it is a major challenge for companies to find and evaluate the required technologies and any suppliers, cooperation partners or even acquisition targets effectively and efficiently with sufficient speed and accuracy. On the other hand, the world of technology has become very accessible nowadays thanks to the Internet and, above all, the globally accessible patent and scientific databases, but this is coupled with a huge amount of information.

We are happy to support you in this endeavor – in particular based on our daily experience with such databases and as patent attorneys, and, upon request, within the framework of our close cooperation with a highly experienced M&A consulting firm – as a “pathfinder” (scout) to identify suitable technologies and, if necessary, their suppliers, or third parties that could be considered as cooperation partners or acquisition targets, and to evaluate them together with you (technology scouting).
