For Corporations
Revealing new opportunities, keeping an eye on the competition, and discovering the real value of your company's intellectual property.
With constant change and limited time, spotting the right innovations isn’t easy - and not every trend is worth chasing. UNICO helps corporations identify, evaluate, and integrate emerging technologies that align with their business goals. Whether you're scouting for solutions/experts, assessing disruptive trends or strengthening your IP strategy, we bring structure, insight, and results. Future-proof your company.
Find the technologies that matter: before your competitors do. Or test your idea before investing: someone else might already be doing it.
We scan the global tech landscape to identify innovations that align with your business needs. From early-stage breakthroughs to applied solutions, we deliver targeted scouting, expert validation, and actionable insights.
Need expertise you don’t have in-house? We’ll connect you with the right people. Through our extensive network across academia UNICO identifies and secures experts who bring not only the right knowledge, but also the experience, attitude, and collaborative mindset to move your project forward.
We focus on quality: people who are capable of delivering value, not just titles. Whether you're looking for a domain-specific advisor, a technical lead, or a strategic sparring partner, we make sure you're working with professionals who fit your goals and team culture.
Aren't you losing money on your company's IP?
We evaluate your intellectual property assets to uncover missed revenue opportunities and improve IP monetization strategies. We will set the right price-performance ratio for your IP management.
Strategic Tech Scouting
for SKODA
We have provided Škoda with a comprehensive report on the latest technologies (both on the market and under development) in the key areas they have identified.
Kiril Ribarov,
Innovation Manager
"Working with UNICO has provided us with extensive knowledge of patents and innovative solutions in Central Europe.
The UNICO team was able to prepare practical and clear outputs relevant for our innovators and innovation managers.
Thanks to the overall overview and the list of specific examples, their output was easy to grasp both for inspiration and for a substantive discussion of the possibility of using individual solutions. This pragmatism is much appreciated."
IP Optimization
for USSPA
For a Czech manufacturer of designer swim spas, we worked on IP Optimization: we performed an assessment and evaluation of the company's IP and proposed a future protection strategy that would have an ideal price-performance ratio.
Kateřina Kadlecová,
CEO
"From the very beginning the negotiations were very empathetic and stimulating at the same time. UNICO provided us with a comprehensive view of IP protection and a quantification of our progress to date in this area. It helped us to organize our priorities and attitudes towards patent protection in the future and optimizing our existing patent portfolio. We will definitely follow up on the project."
Strategic Tech Scouting
for Kayser
We helped Kayser, a manufacturer of compressed gas cylinders, to find the technology and research partner for a major shift in the company's direction.
Ladislav Kotoulek,
Managing Director
"In the search for alternative materials for the production of our core range, we have reached beyond the horizon of our vision. Thanks to our cooperation with UNICO and their Tech Scauting, we were able to find a way out of the impasse and see the issue in a broader context.
The cooperation was very stimulating and showed us the direction we should take. The project is still ongoing and the outcome cannot be clearly predicted at the moment. What we do know is that if we find ourselves in a similar situation in the future, we will confidently turn to UNICO again and find our way together..."
