Tips & Tricks:
Familiar Challenges - New Answers


Innovation happens because there is an unmet need. In other words, we invent to solve a problem. With illumin8, you have the world's largest repository of solutions, or answers to problems. It would only make sense to let you search by a problem.
With illumin8's semantic indexing technology, solutions and their respective problems are stored in such a way that you can simply type in a problem and get all the answers.

Featured Story: Have you heard?

"Tapping" into Clean Energy
In his inaugural address, President Obama of the United States called for expanded use of renewable energy. President Obama's plan calls for $150 billion to develop a clean energy future. Needless to say, this will have a dramatic impact on almost every company.

For companies looking to take advantage of the situation, partnering in the clean energy space might be their best bet and a great use case for illumin8. The first step will be to identify leads for follow-up. As an example, if you were interested in partnering with institutions researching in renewable "clean energy", a quick search and a few filter clicks will get you some leads fast.
