Studies / Analyses

• You need precise and up-to-date information on certain technologies for your strategic planning processes?
• You lack profound background knowledge for planning your R&D activities?

Especially in the emerging fields of technology, companies often lack reliable and well presented information material for corporate communication. For many years, FTD has been conducting customers-specific technology analyses for public (see publication list) and private (confidential analyses) clients. We use the print media (primary literature, specialist journals etc.), the digital media (industry and patent databases etc.), a systematic conference monitoring as well as our personal contacts to many national and international networks as sources of information. For an effective information analysis we use our software tool ZTC-Future-Pool.

Our studies and analyses provide answers to questions such as:

• What might be the state-of-the-art in research?
• What market potentials might be expected?
• Which companies and working groups might be on the market?
• Are there any current research projects and research programmes?
• Which socio-economic aspects might influence the development of a technology field?
