129 New Technologies You Need to Know

Innovation Pipeline covers disruptive technologies born in laboratories and on their way to market. In our annual report we examine 129 different startups built on important technological innovations. We gather information and insight from university labs, corporate research centers and early-stage companies around the world to tell readers what's new and what it's worth.

This in-depth report examines technologies in seven different sectors: biomedicine, communications, defense and security, electronics, energy, nanotechnology and software. In each sector we offer expert business and technology insight to frame the key issues and compelling opportunities for investors. The report contains 15 interviews with experts across all the industry sectors listed above. We also have expert written viewpoints from more than a dozen leading researchers and investors, offering unique perspectives on technology innovation and its implications in the marketplace.

The early-stage startups profiled here are the product of exhaustive research and reporting by our team of seasoned business journalists. To arrive at these 129, we examined hundreds of early-stage companies, speaking with researchers on the cutting edge on their fields and combing the top university research labs, from MIT to the Moscow Technology Institute, from McGill University to Cal Tech.

Innovation Pipeline does what other tech-transfer newsletters don't. We examine the market context of startups and give in-depth analysis, probing business models, financing and competitive advantages. In these pages you'll find the world's most promising technologies, innovations today that will shape the economy of tomorrow.
