Scouting for new technology to power your business? Our hybrid solution combines AI and expert analysis to identify promising technology, with an in-house repository for automatic data extraction. Our one-stop solution empowers you to make informed decisions and stay ahead of emerging trends. Discover new opportunities worry-free with our actionable insights and innovative approach.
Technology scouting is a process of analyzing and finding a way from the available information to predict and build a new technology with the purpose of strengthening the company’s patent portfolio. To adapt to the technological evolution, the company must innovate regularly to remain at the top of the pyramid.
Continuous research and development are required to investigate alternative solutions to existing problems or to find a new technological solution.
The primary objective of the technology scouting process is to analyze the characteristic parameters or challenges of technology, locate all possible solutions to the challenges, and analyze the feasibility of the solutions to the challenges in line with a company’s internal capabilities.
TT Consultants has been involved in projects associated with technology scouting. We have extremely qualified domain experts with higher degree holders having experience analyzing a wide range of technologies, collaborations, and licensing opportunities.
Further, we also have an AI / ML powered in-house repository for automatic analysis and extraction of relevant data with a one-step solution.

Impact Stories
A Europe based beverage company reached out to TT Consultants for a project related to a circular economy with the intention of reducing the waste water during the process of preparing beverages and recycling the by-product.
Our Domain Experts, having higher degrees, analyzed the IP and market activity in the beverage domain and found the available solutions for the challenges faced in the circular economy modal.
Besides this, our team also fetched a few solutions for the circular economy from cross domain areas and manually graded the solutions with the help of the TRIZ concept.
Using TRIZ our team correlated the solutions obtained from the IP or technology with characteristics like cost-effectiveness, scalability, and other attributes to show the feasible solution and ranked them accordingly.
The ranking really has helped our clients to try out the most appropriate solution that has high feasibility with lesser risks and enhanced effectiveness.
An Asian client approached TT Consultants for a technology scouting project. The client was working in the chemical way of recycling plastics, where they wanted us to search for other alternative solutions that reduces the processing cost in a effective way.
Our Experts proceeded with this request in the same way as performing a landscape search and analysis for finding alternative cost-effective ways for recycling plastics.
Along with the general analysis, our team provided a detailed analysis of patenting trends, technological gaps with fewer IP clusters, competitor assessment, market and business analysis and status, and the current opportunities area for the company’s growth.
One of the clients from the US approached TT Consultants for a project in the mechanical engineering area. The clients wanted to look for prominent resources for merger and collaboration activity.
Our team analyzed the vast domain and identified a few prominent alternative sectors having growth opportunities.
Along with this our team located the potential resources like a list of individual inventors, universities, research institutions, and startups having IP activity in those prominent alternative sectors to establish a connection between the client and the potential resource.
The report helped the client in finalizing the IP licensing from one of the potential resources.

IN THE NEWS
Technology Scouting is an exhaustive process of analysing the existing Intellectual Property and commercial market resource for identifying a new feasible way to build a portfolio.
The major problems are identifying feasible solutions, identifying list of potential collaboration resources, lack of knowledge for performing Scouting activity and lack of available tools.
The cost for performing technology scouting ranges between few hundred dollars to few thousand dollars, depending upon the client’s requirement and complexity of the domain. The technology scouting report is customisable based on the requirement of the client.
An enterprise with an intension to expand their business in a new area, an enterprise planning to enhance the product quality would request for scouting.
Technology scouting is generally performed by the hybrid approach of manual analysis and automatic analysis by the tool.
One such tool is XLSCOUT – In house developed repository powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Approach for obtaining relevant IP scouting data in a single place.
Scouting analysis is performed by segmenting the technology of interest into sub technologies, characteristics and applications.
Further the process proceeds with analysing, mapping and performing analytics for the segmented IP and Non IP knowledges to obtain information relating to technology evolution, competitor analysis, technological gap, opportunities for growth and available list of potential resources or collaboration's.
By constantly monitoring and evaluating new and emerging technologies, identifying potential opportunities and threats, and leveraging the insights gained to make strategic decisions and adapt to changing market conditions.
Many industries can benefit from technology scouting, including healthcare, energy, manufacturing, information technology, consumer goods, and transportation. Any industry that relies on innovation and technology to improve its products, services, and operations can benefit from technology scouting.
Startups can benefit from technology scouting by identifying potential partners, investors, or acquisition targets. They can also use technology scouting to identify emerging technologies that can help them stay ahead of their competition, improve their products or services, or streamline their operations. By leveraging technology scouting, startups can access a wider range of resources, expertise, and technologies that can help them grow and succeed in their industry.
