FAQ

Common questions

What is Technology & IP Growth?

Technology & IP Growth helps you unlock more value from technologies, IP and products you already have. NineSigma identifies new and non-obvious applications, industries and markets where your technology could solve valuable problems and create new growth opportunities.

We can explore existing products and technologies, underutilised IP, patents, emerging technologies and R&D innovations. The technology does not need to be market-ready — we can explore potential applications at different stages of development.

We combine AI-powered discovery, market intelligence and cross-industry expertise to look beyond your current markets and identify unexpected applications and use cases. We then assess the strongest opportunities for technology fit, market attractiveness, differentiation and commercial potential.

You get more than a list of ideas. We deliver a prioritised roadmap of the most promising applications, supported by market and competitive intelligence, together with a practical commercialisation pathway identifying target customers, potential partners and recommended next steps.
