Our Technology Scouting Articles

  • Social media mining of consumer trends is not just for your marketing department anymore. It should be part of your overall corporate R&D/innovation toolkit.

    The world is awash in data ranging from e-commerce, in-store data, and the supply chain. Today, big data has gotten even more significant due to the rise in social media. There are over 3 billion users of social media. While you read this sentence, hundreds of thousands of tweets, comments, pictures, and videos have posted. An astonishing 73% of marketers believe companies that fail to use social data analysis effectively won’t survive in the long run. Social data has the potential to inform every aspect of a business.

  • Viewed through the eyes of an innovation manager, quantum dot technology could either represent the best thing since sliced bread or your darkest nightmare. Quantum dots are dependent on the size of the nanoparticle and not the chemical nature of the material and enable applications ranging from large screen televisions (TVs) to packaging to medical diagnosis and imaging. Quantum dots have the potential to disrupt the status quo across virtually all industrial sectors. Your product may be obsolete and you just don’t know it yet.
