blendX

The Tech Radar is a blendX module based on artificial intelligence that allows the user to carry out targeted scouting on over 36Mln solutions (startups, technologies, software, R&D) from all over the world. In other words, it is a tool capable of automating and organizing the scouting process and the analytical evaluation of the solutions identified and responding to the user’s innovation needs. The proprietary algorithm allows to match the innovation needs mapped and clustered by the user in the platform with the set of solutions detected by blendX. Tech Radar has a strong component of integration with other platforms, as it is designed to collect and aggregate a large amount of data from public and private sources which is then organized, categorized and enriched before being presented to the end user.

Idea, Challenge and PoC Management are blendX modules dedicated to the execution of innovation through the interaction of multiple users who are part of the innovation ecosystem. The modules are activated on the basis of the expressed innovation need and represent an entire innovation workflow: from ideation to experimentation. Idea Management is designed to involve employees, customers, suppliers in the collection and proposition of ideas according to the crowdsourcing model with evaluation steps to identify the ideas with the highest innovative potential. Challenge Management is designed to create and manage contests (call4ideas, call4startup, call4tech) looking for the entire flow from the collection of the application to its management through communication and tracking functions. PoC Management is designed to manage the entire process of experimentation and creation of a Proof of Concept through monitoring functions, KPI analysis, evaluation of the various evolutionary stages.
