At GetFocus, we're revolutionizing strategic innovation with AI-powered forecasting tools that empower corporate R&D and innovation teams to confidently answer one of the most critical questions of our time: “Which emerging technologies will matter, how soon, and by how much?”

For the first time, advances in data, compute, and modeling allow us to predict which emerging technologies will dominate before the market agrees. By equipping innovators with data-driven technological foresight, we help them make the right investment decisions and innovate faster. Our users include R&D leaders and strategy analysts at organizations such as BASF, Renault, AlfaLaval, Reckitt, and decision makers at the US Navy and other government institutions.

Our SaaS platform, Odin, enables users to make data-driven R&D decisions with clarity and speed. Now, we’re looking to take Odin to the next level in usability and capability, scaling insights and innovation even further.
