Technology Evaluation Compass
The Technology Evaluation Compass (TEC) is an analytical tool designed to synthesize economic considerations with technological trends to identify new research opportunities. It supports decision making by mapping the interface between business activities and emerging or existing technological advances and provides a clear picture of market and innovation leadership in relevant markets, growth rates and competitive potential in untapped markets.
The Technology Evaluation Compass (TEC) offers a unique method for determining the market potential of new technologies and use cases. By using an extensive database, the TEC provides detailed analyses that go beyond conventional market reports and precisely determine the actual relevant markets and sales potential. Companies can use these findings to optimize their strategic orientation and position themselves specifically on the market. The results not only support decision-making, but also provide a solid basis for strategic planning and the market launch of new technologies.
Another application of the TEC is the performance of due diligence and technical and economic audits. These analyses are prepared by lawyers and industrial engineers and are ideal for reporting and investor communication. They serve as an effective promotional tool to support funding applications, attract venture capital and identify new strategic partners. By detailing market and innovation leadership, growth rates and competitive potential in untapped markets, the TEC provides comprehensive insights that are crucial for the successful implementation of innovation projects.
