Technology assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the potential impacts, benefits, and challenges of [[emerging technology|emerging technologies]]. It involves analyzing various aspects such as market demand, technological capabilities, and application areas to ensure informed decision-making and strategic planning. By identifying key features and mapping the customer ecosystem, technology assessment helps organizations align their innovations with market needs and opportunities. This process is essential for balancing [[market pull]] and [[technology push]] dynamics, guiding the successful commercialization and adoption of new technologies. ## Sections - [[market pull versus technology push]] - [[the importance of emerging technologies]] - [[technology push process]] - [[technology definition and communication]] - [[Identification of technology features]] - [[Identification of application areas]] - [[decision for one opportunity]] - [[mapping of the customer ecosystem]] - [[key stakeholders table]] ## Examples - [[defining and communicating the IoT technology]] - [[using components and functions for identifying IoT technology features]] - [[using mind mapping for identifying IoT technology features]] - [[using mind mapping for identifying IoT technology applications]] - [[using TRIZ for identifying IoT technology applications]] - [[creating an evaluation matrix for IoT technology applications]] - [[identifying key stakeholders, needs and pains for an IoT technology application]] ## Concepts - [[market pull]] - [[technology push]] - [[emerging technology]] - [[generative artificial intelligence]] - [[Internet of Things (IoT)]] - [[blockchain]] - [[augmented and virtual reality]] - [[renewable energy technologies]] - [[robotic technologies]] - [[structured process]] - [[ideation tool]] - [[mind mapping]] - [[TRIZ]] - [[TRIZ methodology]] - [[TRIZ contradiction matrix]] - [[TRIZ 39 engineering parameters]] - [[TRIZ 40 inventive principles]] - [[evaluation matrix]] Next: [[Key Concepts on EITT]] Back to [[Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Transfer (EITT)|EITT Home]]
