Case Study: Exxaro achieves faster, more efficient opportunity research with CB Insights

How Exxaro Fast-Tracks Their Pipeline of Opportunity

Exxaro, one of South Africa’s largest coal producers and a diversified mining company, needed a faster, more reliable way to research new technologies, partnerships, and investment opportunities across multiple industries. As a lean innovation and venturing team, Exxaro turned to CB Insights to avoid getting bogged down in lengthy research cycles and to keep pace with sustainable growth and innovation goals.

CB Insights’ Daily Digest, custom dashboards, Collections, and Connect feature helped Exxaro quickly identify emerging markets, share trusted insights internally, and streamline outreach. The result was a dramatic reduction in research time from three or four weeks to three or four hours, plus about $100k in annual people-cost savings by avoiding additional analyst hires.
