Company

Roche, a global leader in pharmaceuticals and diagnostics, is at the forefront of innovation in healthcare. To continue driving progress, their Technology and Science group, which is part of Roche Diagnostics Strategy and Partnering, focuses on identifying and understanding emerging technologies and trends that shape healthcare and diagnostic solutions.

Challenge

🔍 Navigating Complexity

Roche's Technology and Science team was tasked with mapping and tracking technological advancements across multiple fields. Their goal was not just to create landscape reports but to generate meaningful insights that could guide strategic decision-making. Traditional methods were limiting; they required significant manual effort and often couldn't keep up with the fast-paced changes in technology and innovation.

The team aimed to increase the frequency of these landscape reports while also transforming them into dynamic tools that could continuously reflect the latest industry insights.

"FounderNest has significantly enhanced our landscape reporting capacity."

Solution

🔧 Empowering Roche with AI-Driven Market Intelligence

Roche turned to FounderNest's AI-powered platform to revolutionize their approach to technology and biomarker landscaping. The platform provided the team with a way to scale their research processes, allowing for a more fluid and comprehensive understanding of their topic of interest.

“CB Insights and Pitchbook offer robust databases that allow for extensive screening, but at times the data can be overwhelming and poorly structured. FounderNest, on the other hand, stands out by providing a more meaningful and impactful approach.”

Results

​​Adopting FounderNest has the potential to transform the Roche Technology and Science team's approach to technology scouting and landscape analysis.

  • Increased Reporting Capacity: The team significantly increased their landscape report output with FounderNest, exploring new players more frequently and thoroughly.
  • Expanded Scope: FounderNest's capabilities empowered Roche to explore multiple technological fields simultaneously, significantly increasing their reach and visibility into emerging innovations.
  • Refined Decision-Making: With access to in-depth insights into new technology providers, the Technology and Science team can help facilitate faster, data-driven decisions that align with Roche's long-term strategic goals.
“The most prominent impact is certainly finding opportunities much faster than before.”

Future Outlook

🌐 Building on Success for Continued Innovation

Looking forward, the Technology and Science team at Roche Diagnostics is excited about further leveraging the capabilities of FounderNest to enhance their approach to emerging trends and technology analysis. By continuously refining their landscape methodologies and integrating deeper insights, the Technology and Science team aims to foster even more meaningful partnerships and drive future innovations.

They’re also excited about upcoming product updates that will allow them to further automate their processes, as well as allowing them to track trends and technologies within topics of interest in real time.

"This will allow us to not only create industry snapshots, but also keep those insights updated, enabling us to stay ahead of the curve."
