One of the essential foundations for creating a successful company in the long term is the ability to identify technological trends from an early stage and exploit the opportunities offered by new technologies for product innovations. However, factors such as the hugely dynamic nature of technological progress make it increasingly difficult for companies to comprehensively identify technology-related opportunities and harness them in a goal-oriented manner. The methods and organizational solutions designed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (Fraunhofer IAO) to improve and synchronize research, innovation and technology development processes enable businesses to rapidly and efficiently align new technologies with the requirements of their markets and integrate them into their own products and processes.
