Innovation events bring enormous opportunity, and just as much noise.
Novable’s EventScout transforms overwhelming chaos into strategic clarity. This offering draws on the same hybrid philosophy that Novable CEO Laurent Kinet champions for modern startup scouting: AI-powered reach and expert human judgment working side by side.
Innovation events remain central to how ecosystems connect corporates with startups – but they also present a paradox:
Traditional event approaches – walking halls, collecting business cards, hoping insights stick – are no longer enough.
Innovation teams are stretched thin. They lack time, bandwidth, and structure to extract meaningful intelligence.
EventScout was built for this challenge. Turning events into insight-rich opportunities.
Novable has long maintained that AI should enhance human judgment, not replace it. According to the CEO, Novable’s solution was designed from the outset as a hybrid system – one where AI’s speed and breadth are paired with human expertise that validates and contextualizes results.
EventScout follows the same principle.
Instead of uploading a list of exhibits and hoping team members can sift through them later, EventScout:
The outcome? Clients don’t just get data but they get meaningful insight fast!
Unlike typical event scouting tools or manual processes:
EventScout separates meaningful trends and companies from the chaos others leave behind. It saves teams days of manual research, revealing what matters because it’s guided by your brief and strategic objectives.
Instead of inert lists, you get a curated, ready-to-use insight pack – including key profiles and digestible visuals that map the innovation landscape relevant to your goals.
Advanced AI enriches and structures the data, but it’s the expert curation layer that adds context, interpretation, and qualitative nuance – something pure algorithms alone can’t reliably deliver.
This uniquely human-in-the-loop design ensures EventScout doesn’t just find startups, it interprets them in your innovation context.
“EventScout is designed as a workflow, it’s not a report. Everything starts with a detailed briefing which is not just on the event, but your project goals, themes, and success criteria. Now, while Novable’s AI pulls and enriches all exhibitor data, human experts curate, interpret, and filter that information against your strategic goals. This is how your team receives a curated basket of startups – clearly framed, validated, and ready for action. Of course, if you need outreach, deeper dives, workshops, or strategic advisory, EventScout can extend into those next steps.”
In short:
EventScout isn’t just for executives. Whether you’re:
EventScout equips you with usable insight that drives confident decisions, no matter your title or seniority.
Laurent mentioned that this is how your team can prepare before they even arrive at the event – so meetings and engagements are purposeful, not reactive.
Novable consistently stresses that innovation isn’t just about discovery but about making innovation happen inside organizations. Laurent explains this via this reflection:
EventScout translates event complexity into meaningful intelligence teams can act on instantly – transforming where many see noise into visibility and opportunity.
At Novable, the mission has always been clear:
Empower innovation teams with tools that balance technological scale and human judgment.
EventScout embodies this vision. It brings together AI’s speed and enrichment capabilities, expert insight and narrative sense-making and dtrategic focus tailored to your goals.
The result? Your next innovation event becomes not a blur, but a map of actionable opportunities which is ready to explore, engage, and unlock value.
