Transformative Investing

Identifying the most exciting and dynamic companies

The key innovation indicator for active fund managers

This indicator provides active fund managers with a precise and quantified indicator of recent company innovation and technology direction. This indicator adequately assesses company innovation capacity in broad technology sets such as a selection of green technologies, advanced digital technologies or the standardized set of 100 EconSight game changing technologies.

Identification of future technology leaders

An indexed selection and ranking of companies which have the potential to become future leaders and outperform the market. The focus is on recent innovation and incorporates all patents from the last 3-5 years in selected technologies to identify the most exciting and dynamic innovators.

Scientific foundation of the Dynamics Score

The scientific approach for the EconSight Transformative Score was published as «Constructing a dynamic patent technology indicator using text mining and machine learning» in «Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence» in 2023

The transformative investing approach

Broad Technology Selection

This approach allows for the analysis of a wide selection of technologies, for example a theme-based collection (GreenTech) or an industry selection. For a good overview of company activities in currently particularly relevant technologies, we recommend the 100 EconSight game changer technologies.

Calculation and Scoring

The calculation is a scientifically based combination of dynamic and level indicators. On the one hand, the level of quality and quantity achieved is calculated and, on the other, the change in these indicators over the last 3 years. Optionally, the calculation can be extended to include the particularly valuable world-class patents and the share of focus technologies.

Company Ranking

The result is an indexed ranking of the most important companies. The indexed calculation allows easy integration into existing analysis and evaluation systems. If required, the sub-indicators can also be made available.

Identifying the most exciting and dynamic companies based on the EconSight transformative investing approach

Globalance invests in future movers. We do not find our investments with a guessing game. We rely on innovative patent data from the global leader EconSight.

EconSight Gamechanger Model Portfolio Performance

Our Gamechanger model portfolio applies the EconSight Transformative Score to 100 Gamechanger technologies to identify the 25 most innovative publicly traded companies at the forefront of technological innovation.

More information

Background – what do we do new, different and better?

500 curated technologies

A technology taxonomy consisting of 500 curated cutting-edge technologies, defined from a market perspective and not from a purely technical perspective.

Next generation AI-based patent analysis

We use AI where it makes sense and leads to better results. Intelligently linked with our technologies and based on more than 20 years of expert knowledge: innovation evaluation and scoring, grant predictors, enhanced patent searches, and risk analysis.

Precise indicators

EconSight indicators are designed to get the best possible information out of patents: World Class Patents, Company Innovation Score, EconSight Patent Score, Global Tech Share, Specialisation Degree, Enabling Technology Environment, and time series data from 1990 to 2023

Business relevant patent scores

EconSight developed a technology-specific patent score that focusses on business relevancy in patent citations and “critical mass” country coverage, and specifically takes younger patents into account with AI-based grant and citation predictions.
