Supplier scouting service

If your company developed a technology that is being sold in one specific sector, you might be interested in what other sectors might benefit from your technology. With IGOR^AI we can not only search for technologies, but also for applications of a specific technology product or process. This type of scouting project is especially interesting if you want to enter new markets with your technology

How does supplier scouting work? 

When you as an R&D-team or technical procurement team need to find suppliers, you know what technology you are looking for. You for example know already that the challenge you have is that you want to "adorb blue dyes from water during the water purification process". In that case you first have to scout "technologies" or "materials" that can do the job. For example, destroying the pigments with physical strength, or adsorbing it with adsorbtive materials like chitosan, silica, or activiated carbon.

After identifying the technologies that can do the job, and selecting the winner, for example activated carbon, then Findest can help you out scouting suppliers and maybe even startups that can deliver you the technology. Will the activated carbon be supplied by a multinational like Cabot, or a startup like BlackBear? During a supplier scouting project you will find out.
