5.02.2018

Why data matters for hardware engineering companies

As a hardware engineering company, you are maybe not focused on ‘big data’ and artificial intelligence in itself, still being able to work with sizable amounts of data and extracting knowledge out of them is quickly becoming an important competitive advantage.

15.01.2018

Why you need more than a spreadsheet for your engineering data

Evidence-based Technology Roadmapping

Imagine that you are the responsible for the company’s technical strategy at a major drone company. When creating a product strategy or an investment strategy for your R&D efforts, the main question you would want to answer usually is: "How can I ensure that my R&D investments today, lead to competitive products tomorrow?"

26.09.2017

Why Valispace?

“Why?” might be the most intriguing question about any startup. Independently of the technical or economic viability of the idea or product, the answer to the motives of creating something new reveals so much more than a landing page will ever tell you.
