What process is used to identify and recruit the most promising emerging technologies and start-ups to support the customers and program needs?
We rely on our exclusive climate tech plateform that is enriched in a continuous basis and currently includes over 7,000 international start-ups. These start-ups can be analyzed accros the nearly 50 different sub-sectors and data points to quickly identify potential technologies. Our analyst will then review and qualify the most promising technologies to address the customer’s need and contact the entrepreneurs of these start-ups. In the case of a open innovation challenge and if requested by the customer, we will also launch a public call for applications on the various Cycle Momentum social media and communication platforms and accross our global climate tech ecosystem partners. Received applications are then reviewed, analyzed and evaluated with the support of a pre-selection and selection committe composed by experts.
Can we request ad-hoc support for specific Market intelligence reports or expert support?
Yes, depending ofyour specific needs, we can define a tailored offering that is customized for you. We invite you to contact us for a discussion about your needs.
