Innovation also means: reading a lot!

Fraunhofer IAO and TecIntelli have been working on detecting, analysing and structuring innovation processes in technology for several years. In the current research project, the project team wants to investigate how the search for suitable partners to innovate with can be accelerated. 

“We are really looking forward to investigating the potential of the application of AI in the field of Open Innovation. We want to find out how the platform can support companies in finding the right partner to cooperate faster and better compared to classical approaches.”

Dr. Michael Schmitz, project manager at TecIntelli

One key ingredient in the process of analysing the innovation landscape on a given technological field is often a comprehensive analysis of the available content: Publications, conference proceedings as well as content from the websites of relevant players in the field. This quickly amounts to considerable and dynamic volumes of text content. An automatic AI-powered system will assess this information stream.

Kairntech: State of the Art AI-powered content analysis

Kairntech is a french-german AI/NLP specialist with a focus on integrating state-of-the-art analysis approaches into a no code/low code application, that allows domain experts to focus on their area of expertise, benefitting from the AI-powered results and insights without the need for specific coding: information extraction, categorization, annotation with large, multilingual, multi-topic built-in thesauri or summarization are among the capabilities the software offers.

“For Kairntech, is it quite an encouragement to get selected by the Fraunhofer IAO and TecIntelli experts. They have a good overview of the AI landscape and are seasoned professionals on the relevant requirements. The fact that they turn to Kairntech when they needed to ensure automatic support for their project confirms the core choices that we made when designing our NLP platform.”

Stefan Geißler, Kairntech Co-Founder

During the 2-year project Kairntech will gain expertise into large-scale analysis of scientific and technical content. The objective is to assist experts in their activities of assessing and deriving insights from information.
