Auto2x Automotive Technology Radar empowers strategic planning, innovation scouting, and partner discovery

New business models, incl. data monetization and circular strategies, could add another $1 trillion to Automotive Revenues by 2030. Find the biggest opportunities with the Automotive Trend Radar.

The automotive industry is undergoing massive change driven by digital transformation, automation and energy transition.

New business models, incl. data monetization, shared mobility, and circular strategies, could add another $1 trillion to Automotive Revenues by 2030, according to McKinsey.

Change creates tremendous opportunities, as demonstrated by the waves of new market entrants, such as tech giants, and the proliferation of start-ups, among other indicators.

The Auto2x Automotive Trend Radar helps you scout and invest in opportunities with the highest market potential, business readiness and technological maturity to unlock new revenue pools, advance product development or help you innovate and find best-fit partners for commercial or technology development.

It is a crucial tool to empower technology scouting, partner discovery, strategic planning and execution for Corporate Strategy, Innovation, New Product Development, R&D and Engineering teams.

Auto2x’s Automotive Trend Radar Radar uniquely synthesises innovation metrics for incumbent and emerging technologies, business data: market sizing, market share, growth rates; and interviews with experts, such as CEOs, entrepreneurs and academics.

Auto2x leverages a taxonomy of +1400 technologies in Automotive, including AI, Connected, Autonomous Driving, Electrified powertrains & Circular Mobility

✅ Check which Technologies in AI, Autonomous Driving, Connected Cars and New Business models present strong Market Potential
✅ Understand the Technology Readiness to help you time the market
✅ Find best-in-class suppliers and innovators to partner with, invest in or source from.

The basic principle is to develop a robust scouting methodology that captures technological disruption and market movements and prioritises the identified items into Act, Prepare and Watch.

• Act: These technologies or opportunities are your top priority when investing in or leveraging to build new products or find partners to enter new markets.
• Prepare: the action point here is to position yourself to take advantage of the upcoming development or emerging opportunity.
• Watch: the time horizon for these innovations or items doesn’t require immediate action.

The Automotive Trend radar assesses the score for each opportunity based on 3 Parameters:

1. Market Potential to show how big the market is, how fast it’s growing, what is the level of competition;
2. Technological Maturity: Technology Readiness Level (TRL, Patent and Scientific Literature)
3. Market Strategies, which covers business readiness metrics.

Who is it for?

• Innovation teams can use the Radar to build insightful technology roadmaps and understand what new functionality or new products they can bring from the evolution of technology;
• Strategy teams can identify opportunities and prioritise them to allocate resources better and improve ROI.
• Investment and Venture Capital teams (VC) can use the Radar to scout for attractive investment targets, for example, finding start-ups operating in a segment with high potential that aligns with their investment thesis.
• Finally, the Radar also serves as an outside-in perspective to help shed light on your blind spots
