         Successful innovators 
        create new platforms and breakthroughs enabled by emerging technology.  
        They also improve and extend existing product lines incrementally as current 
        technologies evolve.  Adopting evolving and emerging technologies 
        allows innovators to  satisfy current and emerging customer needs 
        while providing competitive insulation and long term advantage. 
        We support strategic business managers, R&D, and 
        innovation teams in a systematic technology discovery process that we 
        call the 
            Tech Explorer.

            Innovare's 
            Tech Explorer is a technology discovery research process that 
            includes a forum for 
            the innovation team plus invited technology experts and lead users
              to interact and explore current and emerging technologies that can
              fuel innovation.  
            
            We provide process facilitation and hands-on 
            research support.  We identify potential technologies, explore how they will evolve, 
            and create visions for their applications relative to current and 
            emerging customer needs and new product concepts.   
            
            The process brings a high level of connection between R&D activities 
            and customer's needs.  It provides input for technology, 
            strategy, and product line planning.
