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 public academic websites and then our site presents it to Technology Scouts in an online interactive portal called Visible Legacy Navigator(tm). 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.

The map enables you to browse from node to node following your inquiry and explore the "in between" information that offers context to help you make sense of innovations. The rich data and links directly to sources offers you the opportunity to explore around the news and find the perfect fit. Explore Navigator.
