The Investments provides a trend chart illustrating the annual investment amounts related to your search, while also ranking investees based on various metrics.
It displays investment trends, offers insights into funding flows, and highlights top-funded and emerging companies, presenting valuable opportunities for potential investments.

This feature includes a graph showing the yearly funding amounts received by organizations over the past 10 years.
Below is a table listing the top 500 funded organizations (the investees).

Filter by year

You can use the charts to filter by year:

• Hover over any bar to see the amount of funding by year. ‍
• Click on a bar to set it as the start date of your filter. Click on another bar to set it as the end date, completing your selected time frame. The organizations below will then be filtered to match the chosen date range.

Filtering by date will load a new set of 500 results.

Ranking fields

The ranking provides various fields that offer valuable insights into each organization. These include indicators, automated metrics that provide measurable insights into an organization's performance or activity, and contextual information that provide additional information.

‍

Indicators

Indicators provide measurable values that quantify various aspects, offering key insights into the organization’s position and significance.

• Global score. This indicator measures an organization’s overall influence and impact in the broader world of innovation and technology, independent of any specific domain or query context. It provides a general assessment of the organization's significance across all areas of activity, offering a baseline metric for its prominence in the global innovation landscape.
• Relevance. This indicator measures how strongly an organization is connected to your query. A higher Relevance score indicates a closer alignment with the search topic or organization. Sorting by Relevance can help uncover smaller, specialized organizations that might be potential hidden champions. Since it is query-dependent, the Relevance value can vary based on the focus of your search.
• Impact. This indicator reflects the overall influence of an organization within the ecosystem defined by your query. It is calculated as the Global Score multiplied by Relevance, combining the organization’s digital footprint across patenting, research, and public visibility. Because it depends on your query, the Impact value may change if the query changes, even if the organization remains connected to it.
• Publication activity. This set of indicators provides a percentage-based estimate of an organization’s activity across three key areas:
  • News. Represents the relative amount of news publications related to both your query and the organization.
  • Research. Reflects the organization’s research activity within the context of your query.
  • Patents. Indicates the organization’s patenting activity relevant to your query.

Panel filters

In the rankings, you can use two types of filters to refine your results and focus on the most relevant organizations:

• Server-Side Filters (Deep Filters): These filters load a completely new set of 500 results. They provide a deeper level of filtering by recalculating the rankings based on your selections, ensuring the new results align with your refined search.
  • Country and City. They generate updated results results based on your selection. To use the City filter, you first need to select a country, as the available cities depend on the chosen country. Once the country is selected, you can refine the results further by specifying a city, ensuring the rankings reflect organizations located in your desired region.
  • Ranking type. This filter allows you to refine your results by selecting a specific publication type—News, Patents, or Research—when performing topic queries in both lexical and semantic searches. Applying this filter updates the rankings to focus exclusively on the chosen publication type, providing a tailored set of 500 results. We recommend sorting the rankings by the same publication type after applying the filter. For example, if you filter by Patents, use the sorting dropdown to organize the results by patents for a clear snapshot.
    The data in these rankings is based on specific timeframes:‍
    • Lexical Search: Includes up to 10 years of data for news, patents, and research.‍
    • Smart Search: Includes up to 10 years for news, but only the last 5 years for patents and research to ensure good performance.

• Client-Side Filters (Table Filters): The rest of the filters on the panel work on the current set of 500 results already displayed in the table. They narrow down and organize the existing data without reloading or altering the dataset.

By combining both types of filters, you can effectively explore and analyze the rankings at different levels of granularity.

How to filter

The filter button, located at the top left of the table, allows you to narrow down your results based on the predefined fields above.

Simply click on Filters, choose the field you want to filter by, and set your criteria. The filters will then apply to the 500 results displayed.
