Case Study: Bayern Innovativ drives foresight and cross-industry collaboration with ITONICS

Bayern Innovativ uses ITONICS to connect 300+ staff and power 10-year foresight roadmaps

Bayern Innovativ, the innovation agency for the state of Bavaria, faced the challenge of helping regional companies anticipate disruptive change and prepare for the future. Their mission required connecting industrial, scientific, and policy expertise to identify emerging technologies, but insights were previously stored in separate tools and were difficult to link and compare. To overcome this, they implemented the ITONICS platform for systematic foresight.

Using ITONICS, Bayern Innovativ structured trends with the STEEP framework and used expert ratings to visualize industry developments. The solution provided a shared intelligence system, most notably through interactive radars and roadmaps that enabled cross-industry collaboration. The results provided Bavarian companies with a clearer view of emerging opportunities, strengthened Bayern Innovativ's credibility as a foresight expert, and created a common reference for workshops and public events, allowing businesses, researchers, and policymakers to steer the region’s economy together.
