Target Audience
R&D Engineers & Researchers
Support innovation and process development with realistic cost and price data
If you are an R&D Engineer, Innovation Engineer, Technology Analyst or a researcher in public or private R&D centers and universities, you may be faced with questions like:
- What would be the CAPEX and OPEX if an emerging technology were scaled to commercial level, considering both ISBL (core process units) and OSBL (utilities & infrastructure)?
- How does our innovative route compare to conventional technologies?
- Among the new patents emerging in our field, which technologies show real techno-economic potential?
- How do raw material and utility costs affect the economic viability of a novel production pathway?
- How do alternative production routes compare in terms of cost structure and competitiveness across geographies?
Answering these questions requires reliable insights — and that’s where we come in. Our team has assessed more than 1,000 processes and emerging technologies worldwide, giving us unmatched benchmarking experience. Since 2002, Intratec has delivered trustworthy analysis for R&D Engineers & Researchers.

Key Challenges
Lean teams with limited time and resources to evaluate emerging technologies
Difficulty tracking patents and competitor routes with real potential
Uncertainty in early techno-economic feasibility assessments of novel processes

Limited ability to benchmark innovative routes against conventional technologies across geographies
Pressure to deliver credible CAPEX/OPEX assessments under tight timelines and budgets
