Technology Intelligence and Software Experts Driving Innovation
For more than 20 years, TKM has been putting its expertise from technological and scientific monitoring at the service of all research and innovation players.
«In research and innovation, it is now impossible to make informed decisions without taking into account everything being published worldwide in the scientific and technological fields.
“For over 20 years, we have been developing AI-powered technologies that sift through massive volumes of data to deliver the right information at the right time and identify threats and opportunities before it is too late. Our software tools restore the full strategic value of intelligence!”
Christophe LECANTE – Founder and CEO of TKM
Over 20 Years of Intelligence
Supporting Innovative Companies
TKM was born out of a simple question: in complex environments where innovation is a global competition and the volume of data continues to grow, how can you quickly identify the right information at the right time?
To address this challenge, TKM has developed proprietary AI-powered software technology that collects, sorts, filters and analyses the entire body of published literature. We put this technology to work for innovation, R&D and intellectual property teams in companies of all sizes.
TKM, a French deep tech company, is proud to bring its strategic expertise to clients around the world.
