The Findest technology scouting service
How does the scouting service work?
To get to a full technology overview fast, Findest designed the modular technology scouting service to be as effective as possible. By developing and using IGOR^AI ourselves we built the perfect software to do the job.
Technology overview project | Fixed price €2850
|
During the intake meeting you together define the scope of your technical challenge. What are you looking for? The Findest technology scout asks a series of questions to make sure he/she knows exactly what you are looking for.
|
|
After the intake meeting the Findest technology scout will focus on finding all relevant technologies to make a Technology Overview. These technologies will contain a short description and findings from scientific literature or patents.
|
|
In the results meeting, we will discuss which technologies are relevant. When needed, you can select 1-10 technologies for a Technology Intelligence scouting phase. The more you focus, the more specific the results.

Technology intelligence project | Fixed price €2850
|
During a Technology Intelligence search IGOR^AI is used to find detailed technical information, and to summarise this in a table containing three important specifications of your choice (ex: efficiency, power consumption, purity, etc.). In addition, papers and patents, TRL and suppliers (if applicable) will be provided per technology.
|
|
Findest's goal is to provide you the tools to select the most promising technology for your challenge. Using the final ranking tool, you can rate the results on maturity match, requirement fulfilment, and overall score.

Two full example projects
weld inspection
How to inspect a weldline in hard to reach places? That's whats being scouted in this example project. The first scouting phase resulted in 36 technologies using acoustic, electromagnetic, and optical phenomena. Ten technologies were selected to be deepened in the second scouting phase, as is shown in the final results section.

neutralize odour
In this example project an hypothetical R&D-team is on the outlook for solutions for odour control, to help prevent undesired smells in an enclosed indoor environment to linger for a prolonged period of time. This scouting project will focus on techniques that potentially assist in the removal of indoor odours, preferably within a short period of time.
