Technology Scouting

For today’s manufacturers, being innovative is easier said than done. Fortunately, technology scouting services from IMC make it easier to grow your business by identifying and acquiring profitable new technologies.

Technology scouting is a methodological process that can help small and medium-sized manufacturers in Central Pennsylvania identify new technologies, channel tech-related information into the company and support new technology in a corporate context. Technology scouting combines commercialization expertise, research and proven processes for road-mapping the technologies that can most impact your manufacturing firm.

Find the right technology.

Manufacturers need to innovate, but often can’t afford large-scale R&D. That’s where technology scouting comes in.

IMC has the resources and network to connect Central Pennsylvania manufacturers with nationally recognized research labs and technology scouting experts, who can point your company to the high-impact tech it needs to stay innovative. Over our 25 years serving the Central Pennsylvania manufacturing community, we’ve generated the technical, commercialization and management experienced needed to help our clients identify early-stage technologies that will allow them to create new business and market opportunities.

Advantages of Technology Scouting for Manufacturers

Technology scouting firms, like those who partner with IMC, use in-depth assessments of companies and products to identify specific beneficial technical areas – and tell you where to find them. IMC’s technology scouting services can provide manufacturers with:

  • Access to innovators and technologies in strategic areas of interest
  • Identification of relevant technologies in universities, public and private research labs, startups, small businesses and large enterprises
  • Fit and quantification of the initial technology, and its relevance to your needs

IMC is Central Pennsylvania’s source for manufacturing technology scouting.
