We provide clients with the opportunity to create new ideas and concepts by mapping the latest news, articles, and other textual information, as well as numerical information about products and markets, on topics of technological innovation that will significantly transform society in the next five to ten years. Mapping uses Viscovery© Self-Organizing Map technology. This goes beyond typical clustering and positioning methods and allows for deep “concept” mining in the ocean of information.
Priority Themes:
We deal with a broad cross-section of emerging innovation themes, including:
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Automated vehicles, in-vehicle information devices, EVs
- Brain-computer interface
- Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
- Blockchain distributed networks
- Quantum computing
- 5G, next-generation communication technologies, cyber security
- IoT, smart cities
- Nanotechnology
- Space development, space internet
- Digital health, telemedicine, personalized medicine
- Renewable energy, new energy development
Organize large numbers of news articles and technical papers by overall similarity onto 2D maps
Therefore, it solves problems that traditional web and database searches cannot:
- Screen a huge amount of information and quickly access only important information.
- Quickly access information related to specific information.
- Understand overall trends from a wide perspective.
- Find commonalities in similar topics.
- Investigate the interrelationships between topics (e.g. elemental technologies).
- Discover ideas for new business or R&D themes.
- Define your company’s strategic position.
In particular, this approach strongly supports creative activities in that it is based on the original ideas of the KJ method and/or GTA (Grounded Theory Approach).
