We Investigate Technological Affinities In The Regional Economy Searching for Innovation  Investment Ideas and We Estimate The Level of Capital Investments Required to Fund The Ideas

Our approach to finding investment opportunities begins with an investigation of the technological relationships among members of the regional technology clusters.

We deploy elements of the Feser Technological Affinities methodology to help us uncover potential relationships that do not appear evident, on first glance.

We generate 7 industrial cluster reports that we use to provide you with advice on regional innovation strategies aimed at increasing investments in both new high tech ventures and investments in your region's existing small manufacturing enterprises.

We work on a project job basis, which means that when you pay us our fee for a report, we work until the job is completed to your satisfaction. We provide a fixed quote per project. Please email us your project requirements and we will immediately respond. tvass@industrialclusterexperts.com
