Unlock and solve your tech challenge with proven external solutions.
Tap into a global network of 8M+ experts and solution providers to surface proven technologies, IP, and innovative solutions – recommended and validated.
Tangible outputs at every stage of the engagement.
A refined problem statement co-created with your team, including success criteria and exclusion parameters.
A structured map of the solution space, providers, approaches, maturity levels, before deep search begins.
Each entry includes a provider profile, relevance rationale, technical summary, and NineSigma’s expert insights.
Warm, pre-qualified connections to the most promising providers, ready to engage immediately.
A structured session to walk through findings, prioritise next steps, and flag follow-on opportunities.
Every result is screened against your technical and commercial criteria, curated and validated before you see it.
Access technologies and experts your internal teams and usual suppliers have never encountered.
Structured 6-10 week delivery so your innovation pipeline doesnʼt stall waiting for research. You innovate, we research.
When a contact is the solution, you get a warm, pre-qualified introduction - not just a name.
Protecting your IP is central to our process. We ensure no confidential information is disclosed, and you approve the technology search before publication. Your company can remain anonymous, and we can anonymize the opportunity during initial outreach to protect your competitive position, if required.
To protect all parties, solution providers are asked not to submit confidential information in their initial responses. Once you identify potential partners, discussions can continue openly or under your own NDA.
Proposals from innovators that want to work with you to solve your challenge, with expert introductions to innovators with relevant technologies. 87% of searches result in collaborations that our client pursues further.
The strongest results come from pairing Technology Search with the intelligence that sharpens the search or reveals where the solution could create further value.
