TECSCOUT

TecScout is a semantic search and analysis tool in selected topics (actually Electro mobility and Industry 4.0). The semantic analysis of texts takes into account not only the search words (as in common internet search engines or professional databases) but also the meaning of the search words. TecScout is a tool for identification, evaluation and monitoring of technologies based on scientific publications, patent and press databases focused on the use in enterprises but also is applicable for research institutes. It supports these organisations in technology recognition, scouting and monitoring as well as identification of potential markets and applications of new technologies and in competition analysis.

Business Case (short): 

The tool provides access to various publications (press releases, scientific papers, etc.) in combination with a semantic search and result analysis functionality on certain technology fields (Electro Mobility and IT Cyber Security).

Business Case (extended):
