THE RADAR

See what a patent landscape reveals.

VALUENEX Radar can be built from research papers, patents, startup data, news articles, social media posts, or any other unstructured text you already have.

What VALUENEX Radar Can Be Built From

A few examples of the data types we commonly map — research papers, patents, and startups are just a starting point.

Research Papers

  • Early-stage science ahead of commercialization
  • Signals of where breakthroughs are headed

Patents

  • Technology trends
  • White space opportunities
  • Competitor R&D direction
  • Freedom-to-operate risk

Startups

  • Emerging players
  • Disruptive technology signals
  • Acquisition / partnership targets

THE DEMO

We mapped 12,415 AI × healthcare patents filed between 2011 and 2026 onto a single radar. Hover the highlighted regions to see what our analysis found in each area.

Analysis Depth

Reveal deeper insights with both macro and micro analysis.

Move fluidly between big-picture strategy and granular, technical detail - without switching tools.

START BROAD GO GRANULAR STRATEGY
  • 01 · Start Broad

    See the whole landscape

    Begin with a high-level view to understand overall market trends and technology landscapes, then seamlessly drill down into areas of interest for more detailed analysis.

  • 02 · Go Granular

    Examine every cluster

    Examine the text within clusters, extract the keywords that define each area, and apply filters to focus on specific technologies or topics.

  • 03 · Combine Both

    Turn insight into strategy

    Combine macro-level market intelligence with micro-level exploration, such as analyzing the patent landscape around your own technologies, to uncover insights that support expansion, R&D, and technology strategy.

What You Can Analyze

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Finding new business opportunities

    VALUENEX helps the client think outside the box to ideate new business ideas, create R&D strategies, and identify potential partnerships. Deliverables often take the form of ideas, advice, or strategic guidance.

    Exploring new ideas

    VALUENEX helps the client execute their ideas. Deliverables often take the form of prototypes or even full-fledged applications.

    Improving internal processes

    VALUENEX helps the client address potential inefficiencies and/or bottlenecks in their workflows. Deliverables are often tangible but vary depending on the industry and the client's role.

  • We work across 30+ industries — from pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and automotive to semiconductors, energy, and consumer goods. Our client list reflects that breadth: companies like Shiseido, Honda, AGC, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsui Chemicals, Kaneka, and Meiji Holdings have all used VALUENEX to support R&D strategy, innovation reporting, or competitive analysis.
  • We pair a proprietary AI-driven analytics platform (Radar) with hands-on analyst expertise — most firms offer one or the other, not both. The Radar turns up to 200,000 documents or patents into a single visual landscape, and our team of specialists helps interpret it and turn it into a plan you can act on. We've been refining this combination since 2006, with deep experience in patent and text analytics specifically.
  • The Radar handles large volumes of unstructured text — patents, research papers, technical documents, and reports — in English, Japanese, and Chinese, processing up to 200,000 documents in a single upload. For patent-specific work, our integrated PatentsDB draws on USPTO, EPO, WIPO, and JPO data, and our Scope module layers in competitor and market positioning on top.
  • A few concrete examples: Shimadzu used our landscape analysis as supporting evidence of technological complementarity in its ~$678M acquisition of Tescan. Shiseido used the Radar to analyze 3D facial shape data for product development. And companies like AGC, Meiji Holdings, Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsui Chemicals, and Kaneka have featured VALUENEX's panoramic analysis directly in their integrated reports to communicate R&D and innovation strategy to investors.
  • The Radar is built to work alongside internal teams, not replace them — it's a licensable platform your own analysts can use directly, so you're not dependent on us for every question. Where it helps most is giving your team a shared visual language to align on, plus the option to bring in our consultants for deeper analysis or specialized methodology when a project needs more bandwidth than your team has on hand.

Program Benefits

Key Benefits.

Accelerating Innovation

The flexible and agile intern team can build a functional prototype within one cycle, enabling fast and precise prototyping.

Fresh Ideas

Top-tier global students bring fresh perspectives, strong technical understanding, and unconventional ideas.

Access to Global Talent

Provides access to exceptional talent not reachable through traditional recruitment channels and supports the promotion of innovative ecosystems.

Methodology

Big Data Thinking.

Like Design Thinking, this method derives refined ideas by repeatedly accumulating and narrowing down ideas, from identifying the problem to be solved to creating new business solutions.

However, instead of relying on a few subjective interviews for idea generation, it leverages VALUENEX Radar to utilize extensive and diverse big data, enabling creative activities that surpass human brain limitations (information processing capacity, cognitive biases).

This method enables your company to generate new business ideas you had never imagined.

Success Story

ENEOS Corporation

VALUENEX partnered with ENEOS Corporation to deliver a digital transformation project focused on Matlantis™, a universal atomic-level simulation platform.

A team of six interns, selected from more than 100 applicants at Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, collaborated on expanding the platform's capabilities, developing new business strategies, and accelerating materials research.

The team proposed new applications for Matlantis™, developed software prototypes, interviewed potential customers, and validated business hypotheses throughout the program.
