Valigent

Valigent is a Umeå-based technology company developing an AI-powered platform that helps companies capture, develop and evaluate technical ideas early in the innovation process. The platform creates a shared workflow between R&D and IP, where technical ideas are structured, compared with relevant prior art and refined before decisions are made on patents, trade secrets or further development. For technology and cleantech companies, Valigent can help identify what is distinctive about an innovation earlier, reduce the risk of valuable ideas being overlooked, and provide a stronger basis for continued investment in development and commercialization. Valigent does not replace patent counsel. Instead, it strengthens the early innovation process and prepares clearer, more complete material for subsequent IP and business-strategic decisions.

WE OFFER

An AI-powered platform and support for capturing, developing and evaluating technical ideas at an early stage. Valigent helps R&D teams structure innovations, analyse relevant prior art and create stronger decision-making material for patents, trade secrets or further technical development.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Technology-driven companies and R&D teams looking to turn more promising ideas into valuable IP, as well as collaborations with innovation environments, IP specialists and other organisations supporting the development and commercialization of new technologies.
