The Science of Spotting New Markets

Abstract

This director of business innovation has been consumed recently with big data. Last year, he launched an experiment to see whether big data could be shared among startups to crack open new business models and enhance the value that data can bring. It was a project with big horizons, and one where he relied on a series of hackathons Intel was a part of to select six companies and seed them in the Intel LabsData Services Accelerator. The goal was to encourage these entrepreneurs to create new sources of value by combining data and finding new big-data revenue streams in the process. He provided each company with access to the data analysis platform from the startup ColdLight.
