Connecting Technology Scouts to Breakthrough Innovations

Visible Legacy's mission is to speed the translation of academic research into real-world solutions. Our proprietary machine intelligence algorithms gather information from the public academic websites and our website presents it to Technology Scouts in an online interactive portal called Visible Legacy Navigator. Navigator lets users follow the story of innovation, making connections more quickly to resources and knowledge, helping Technology Scouts find suitable technology and expert teams faster.  More about us.
