Our Focus On Nine High Technology Clusters

Regional Industrial Cluster Experts

We developed a theory of technological innovation using Leontief's theory about input output economics that helps you predict technological investment opportunities.

Our theory provides you with a framework for predicting future technological innovations and the creation of new markets. We believe that technology evolves because of knowledge creation and knowledge diffusion. We apply a biological metaphor to explain how new markets emerge as a result of technological genetic crossover.

We look for "radical innovation" in technological cross-over candidates, and we look for "sustaining innovation" in existing products.

Our methods are useful for venture capitalists, regional angel groups, metro economic development agencies, university tech transfer offices, and investors interested in predicting the next big technological innovation.

Our approach tends to rely on the concept of regional industrial clusters, or what Dr. Ed Feser, of the University of Illinois, calls value chains.

We believe that knowledge is created and diffused within regional industrial value chains, and we use our theory to help us predict the direction of technology.

You can read more about our theory in our new book:

Predicting Technology.

How Our Theory Is Applied To High Technology Companies That Are Raising Capital

Part of the application of our theory is in the area of private capital markets that are used by private companies to raise capital.

Our theory uncovered a gap in the innovation economic development process that concerned the amount and type of capital a company needs, and the willingness of potential investors to make an investment. The gap is especially severe for small manufacturing firms who are innovating new products, and for small high tech start ups who need less than $ 1 million in growth capital.

As a result of this gap, many good commercially-viable ideas do not get funded because they do not meet the screening criteria of angels or venture capitalists.

We created a global due diligence platform that overcomes many of these problems for private companies.

One Application of Our Theory Is In The Area of Creating Metro Regional High Technology Industrial Clusters

The dynamic force in the economy that causes technological innovation is knowledge.

Knowledge is created and diffused within open business/social networks, and we are proponents of maximum rates of new knowledge creation and diffusion.

Our theory of technogical innovation suggests to us that small components of an industrial cluster, or what Feser calls a "value chain" can be grown into bigger regional value chains.

We apply parts of Feser's methodolgy to help us identify the most likely regional value chains in an economy, given the existing set of firms and industries within the region.

A Useful Application of Our Theory Is Guiding Investment Decisions in Public Company Stocks

We used our theory as a guide for writing a patent application on how stocks could be selected for inclusion in an investment account.

Method of identifying a universe of stocks for inclusion into an investment portfolio

United States Patent 7,251,627

Vass July 31, 2007

Our first screening of the universe of stocks applies our theory to narrow the selection to companies that are in pre-determined high technology industrial clusters.

Next, we apply rigorous standards to those stocks based upon a value approach to investing that shares many elements in common with the Graham and Dodd approach to investment selection.

For independent investors, who like to select their own stocks, we write a monthly stock newsletter that offers investment advice so that investors can do-it-themselves.

For investors who would like professional portfolio management, we offer our services as registered investment advisors, and apply our patented method to our client's accounts.
