I am looking for: Suppliers

When you would like to innovate quickly, explore strategic partnerships or want to find commercialised technologies we can tune IGOR^AI to find suppliers. In a supplier project we scout technologies in two ways:

• Finding technologies from science, patents and web for which we assess if the technology is on the market.
• Scout suppliers and/or technology partners directly based on the known technologies and capabilities from patents and webdata.

This approach ensures that you'll receive an overview of suppliers with the right capability which also covers market-ready solutions from different industries.

Example Case: Find Microsurgical Robots Landscape 

In this challenge, we created an overview of surgical robots used for microsurgical procedures. In the first line of scouting a quick overview of the different options available is created – from a commercial and academic background. After a brief scope check-in, the project covered 24 robotic platforms in total (at least on a prototype level), with information on the requirements, TRL and highlights from both science and commercial parties.

How does a Suppliers ​case work?

During the intake meeting, we discuss the case and the focus for your scouting project. 

After the intake meeting the Findest scout will do a first line of searching in IGOR^AI to list as many suppliers that are in scope as possible.

From an early stage, we integrate your feedback as an expert to IGOR^AI to built the most relevant supplier list. In a midway meeting we discuss if the scope of suppliers is complete and adjust it accordingly to enlarge or narrow down the results list.

Once the direction is fully grasped, the Findest scout will do a deep dive into the results. This will include the list of suppliers, along with highlights on commercial information, scientific literature, specifications, the TRL radar, and a table that summarises some of the most relevant requirements. 

Findest's goal is to provide you an overview of suppliers, that allow you to take an informed decision on the next steps in your project. On the IGOR^AI platform you can rapidly select, evaluate and share the results with the whole team.
