"The database is a fantastic tool for finding interesting new technologies rapidly. Even after we commissioned a large-scale review of a particular technology area, when we checked the Innovation DB we found several items of interest that the report has missed, which we were able to include going forward."

"I use the database to help me present new solutions to the big problems facing the automotive sector and in it we find novel technologies from institutions where we would never otherwise even have thought to look. The biggest investment we have made in my career here was into a technology that came from Innovation DB. It’s great."

"I first met Innovation DB six years ago when PepsiCo became one of its corporate members, and have been happy to continue the relationship at PA Consulting. In that time, the Innovation Database has developed from a great niche tool into a truly powerful global database that has the potential to step-change the capability of any technology scouting team."

Innovation DB maintains the world’s largest database listing novel, commercially useful technologies created by academic institutions, used by an international client base of Multinational Corporations, Venture Capital firms, innovative SMEs and patent and innovation consultancies. We have also a growing community of more than 10,000 for which we run events, write technology market reports, and provide up-to-the-minute news of new technologies.
