Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Placing technology opportunity identification in the perspective of technology attribute analysis and competitive environment scanning provides intelligence support for enterprises to select technology opportunities and formulate technology competitive strategies in complex and changing market competition environments.

[Method/process] Using patents as the data source, first, the BERTopic model is used to explore potential technical topics, Secondly, starting from the technical attributes, and from both global and local perspectives, we propose indicators of technical importance and technical attention, and use their cross screening to select candidate sets of technical opportunities, Finally, a market competition intensity index that takes into account market monopoly and market selectivity is proposed, along with a subject competition intensity index that includes the number and distance of competing entities.A two-dimensional technology opportunity competition environment scanning strategic framework is further constructed to identify candidate technology opportunities as medium and low-risk technology opportunities.Take the domestic industrial robot field as an example to conduct empirical research.

[Result/conclusion] Based on the technology opportunity identification method presented in this article, a total of 14 candidate technology opportunities in the domestic industrial robot field were screened. Ultimately, 9 potential medium risk technology opportunities and 4 potential low-risk technology opportunities were identified, and the effectiveness of this method was further validated by combining enterprise product information.
