Visit their respective areas for the latest conferences, news articles, technical publications, timely podcasts, related standards, professional organizations, and educational opportunities.

Patent and intellectual property insights

IEEE InnovationQ Plus combines deep engineering knowledge from IEEE content with IP.com’s global patent and non-patent literature into a single, integrated solution that unlocks critical business information contained in technical documents and accelerates innovation, discovery of key insights, and time to market.

Powered by IP.com’s proprietary cognitive retrieval engine, InnovationQ Plus rapidly sifts through millions of documents to quickly and efficiently pinpoint relevant and accurate information from a collection of more than 70 million patents, applications, and invention disclosures, plus more than 3 million published documents from IEEE journals, conferences, and standards.

Technology Roadmaps

The IEEE Technology Roadmaps Committee (IRC) works to provide guidance and infrastructure to support technology roadmap activities across IEEE. IRC, as supported by IEEE Future Directions, is a valued resource to any society or community as it develops and promotes its technology roadmap as a critical resource between research and industry.

The growing interest in technology roadmaps spans a wide range of IEEE organizational units. IRC seeks to enable the success of IEEE’s technology roadmap activities by leveraging the expertise of experienced roadmap developers to create tools and templates while documenting a high-level roadmap development process to assist new roadmaps.

Trend papers

Trend papers are designed to be written by industry professionals for industry professionals, and they cover the latest, as well as future-looking, technology trends in a given area.

Entrepreneurial and startup aid
