Connecting enterprises with emerging technology ecosystems
Our emerging technologies co-innovation network helps enterprises identify, evaluate, and adopt emerging technologies aligned with their strategic priorities. It enables organisations to assess enterprise fit, validate solutions, and accelerate adoption with greater confidence.
AI-driven foresighting strengthens these capabilities by connecting signals from venture capital, academic research, startups, and regulatory ecosystems to identify technology trends, capability gaps, competitive positioning, and partner fit.
Illustration showing the Emerging Technologies COIN™ innovation journey as a five-stage process. The flow moves from Discover, identifying relevant startups, research, and emerging technologies, to Evaluate, assessing enterprise fit, scalability, and business relevance. It then progresses to Co-create, where pilot solutions are developed with customers and ecosystem partners, followed by Integrate, embedding innovation into products, platforms, and operations. The final stage, Scale, highlights the expansion of successful innovations to deliver enterprise-wide business impact.
How Emerging Technologies COIN™ creates value
Our academic co-innovation network fosters sustained collaboration between academic institutions, researchers, students, and industry practitioners, helping transform research-led innovation into real-world impact.
Many of the technologies shaping the future will emerge from years of scientific inquiry before becoming products, platforms, or industries. The TCS Research Scholar Program (RSP) supports promising researchers pursuing multidisciplinary PhD research in computing-led domains through long-term financial support, expert mentorship, and access to global research communities.
Today, RSP alumni contribute across academia, industry, and entrepreneurship, advancing research, developing new technologies, and creating knowledge that continues to shape the future of innovation.
