How can we help you?

We are often overloaded with information and it is difficult to identify the key factors in the decision making process.

Is our idea really innovative?

Can we protect the invention (technology, process, product…) that we are working in?

Are there already any patents related to my invention?



We analyze the available information about patents, scientific papers and other sources of information to find an answer to these questions.

Who are our clients, competitors or potential allies?

To what marketplace or countries can we export?

What are the main market trends of our sector?

 

We identify competitors, potential clients and products, and we make a characterization of your target markets (exports, imports, sales, etc.) and we study the state of the technology (emerging, growing, mature).

How can we follow up technology trends?

How can we detect our competitors?

How can we anticipate new opportunities?

 

We analyse relevant information and news according to your needs, either punctually or on a regular basis, and we can provide you with a tailored assessment of the best use of available information resources and surveillance tools.
