What is a Horizon Scan?

With Horizon Scans we boost innovation by staying informed on cutting-edge technologies through:

  • Identifying State-of-the-Art Technology:
    Stay current with the latest technological advancements.
  • Assessing Technological/Commercial Readiness: Evaluate readiness from both technical and market perspectives.
  • Highlighting Critical Building Blocks with Technical Risks: Focus on key components, emphasizing potential technical risks.
  • Suggesting Potential Collaboration Partners: Identify possible collaborators with complementary expertise.

This approach ensures a concise yet comprehensive strategy for innovation, covering technology identification, readiness assessment, risk mitigation, and collaboration enhancement.
