Data Driven Invention
Iprova is transforming the way new products and services are invented by using data and technologies such as machine learning. We aim to invent ever faster, ever more disruptively – and as a direct result allow our customers to gain competitive advantage by bringing new differentiated and value-creating products and services to market.
Iprova uses advanced machine learning and other technologies to augment human intelligence, allowing us to create commercially relevant inventions at high speed and with great diversity. Iprova has developed the unique ability to understand if an advance in one domain can trigger an invention in a different domain even if the two domains are very distant.
We help world-leading businesses speed up and diversify their innovation, helping them benefit from opportunities driven by the huge levels of convergence currently occurring between previously unrelated industries. Iprova has been successful in creating inventions based on these points of convergence, many of which may become the foundation for new products and services across a wide range of industries and sectors.
Hundreds of patents based on our inventions have been filed by some of the best-known technology companies worldwide. Our customers include Philips, Deutsche Telekom and Panasonic in Europe and Japan, and leading technology companies in the United States. We have delivered inventions in diverse physical science-based industries including next generation mobile devices, wearables, 5G telecommunications, autonomous vehicles, blockchain and healthcare.
