Knowledge and Research Institutions
ScoutinScience helps Knowledge and Research Institutions turn research into real-world impact through discovery, outreach, and support. This page shows how we drive innovation through scouting, talent, grants and ecosystem partnerships.
Beyond Scouting: The Full Innovation Lifecycle for Universities
Universities face growing pressure to demonstrate the real-world impact of their research, and the path from publication to patent, partnership, or startup is often unclear and fragmented. At ScoutinScience, we help universities bridge that gap by turning dormant academic insights into concrete, scalable opportunities for innovation.

Step 1
Onboarding, Goal Setting, & Data Collection
We begin by defining the scope tailored to your university’s innovation ambitions. Whether you’re aiming to drive more startups, IP output, or industry partnerships, we work closely with your internal teams to define success. During this phase, we also begin automatically gathering relevant data such as publications and grants from public sources. Where applicable, we integrate our platform with your internal systems or databases to enrich the insights and ensure a seamless setup. This step is critical to ensuring our solution provides the flexibility and precision necessary to support your innovation tracking and intellectual property (IP) management requirements effectively.

Step 2
Scouting and Screening
We apply our proprietary AI models to classify and evaluate research outputs. Each innovation is scored based on business potential, Technology Readiness Level, and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. This step results in a curated list of high-potential research leads and the identification of different research impact pathways.
Step 3
Proactive Outreach and Launchpad
Identified opportunities are not just documented. We act on them. Together, we contact researchers and relevant stakeholders to initiate next steps. This activates our launchpad phase, where opportunities begin transitioning toward spin-offs, grant opportunities, partnerships, or IP creation.
Step 4
Support programs
To ensure successful outcomes, we offer a range of support services tailored to universities:
