Research-led AI

---

INSIGHTS Innovate combines cutting-edge AI with rigorous academic research to help universities unlock more value from their research strengths. Rather than relying on generic AI, the platform is built on established theories of creativity, innovation and computational intelligence that have been specifically applied to the challenges of research and knowledge exchange.

The underlying computational model was developed through Research England-funded research and has been validated through peer-reviewed publications and evaluations across multiple application domains. This evidence-based approach gives universities confidence that INSIGHTS Innovate is founded on proven research rather than emerging AI trends alone.

The platform uses these research insights to: 

• identify new interdisciplinary opportunities, 
• reveal connections between research strengths and external challenges, 
• support the development of stronger innovation, collaboration and funding opportunities.

If you would like to explore the research behind INSIGHTS Innovate, a range of academic and practitioner publications explain the underlying methods and demonstrate how they can be applied in practice, including articles published in IEEE Software and IREB Requirements Engineering Magazine.

INSIGHTS Innovate starts by mapping your university’s research and innovation spaces and where they overlap, digesting and making sense of large volumes of documents, so you can discover and develop novel opportunities, quickly.

INSIGHTS Innovate uncovers your most fertile spaces of opportunity and shows them in clear visual form. It then applies bespoke algorithms, ones you control, to generate research and innovation opportunities within and between those spaces.

Every opportunity links back to your original documents and to new sources uncovered elsewhere. 

It goes further: innovating around existing patents, exploring candidate markets, and bringing in the best-fit academics across your institution.

It allows you to visualise, drill down and pivot on opportunities, to continue your creative process simply and quickly.
