Technology Driven Market Intelligence (TDMI) provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to identifying the benefits and the market impacts related to your company’s technology-based asset (idea, product, process, capability) and provides the customized, actionable intelligence you need.
TDMI directly considers the technical and market viability of your asset and characterizes the associated opportunities and barriers. Through a structured process of desk research and expert interviews, TDMI provides intelligence such as:
Identifying and characterizing the markets, trends, value chains, competition and companies of most interest and relevance to your business
Detailing prevailing technical performance and user requirements and assessing how well your asset meets or could meet those requirements
Describing your best options for moving forward with development, partnering and market entry
Filling in other key knowledge gaps your company may have surrounding regulatory, intellectual property or competitiveness issues
This combined market and technical opportunity assessment provides the intelligence you need to make accurate and confident decisions for new technology-driven products and markets.
The program should help us expand and diversify our business. In addition to validating several sectors where we thought we could diversify, the TDMI confirmed other sectors had very low/no potential for growth, allowing us to avoid wasting time and resources where there was low likelihood of success.

It aims to capture a state’s innovation pipeline. The index looks ahead, assessing the foundation on which future growth will build and focusing attention on the elements of a knowledge economy that will help states adapt to economic change.
