Concept2Universe

From concept to universe.

Concept2Universe (C2U) translates user-defined concepts, such as ‘circular economy’ or ‘space exploration’, into a custom taxonomy and a comprehensive universe of relevant companies. You define the dimensions of relevance and evidence you need, for example revenue exposure or R&D activity, and each company is assessed against them. It enables fast and accurate universe creation, with dynamic updates.

Transform investment concepts into complete, actionable universes within minutes, not weeks — capturing the entire opportunity landscape others miss, from obvious players to hidden champions.
