Tech Scouting … IS

An approach by companies whereby they assign part of their staff or employ external consultants to gather information in the field of science and technology and through which they facilitate or execute technology sourcing.

Technology scouting is either directed at a specific technological area or undirected, identifying relevant developments in technological white spaces.

Technology scouting relies on formal and informal information sources, including the personal networks of the scouts.

You are being pressured or have a desire to develop “green” or sustainable products.

You can’t find a partner (OEM or integrator) that is necessary to deliver a new invention, product, or improvement to market.

You are under pressure to innovate but don’t have the bandwidth or the resources to commit to it.
