KETMarket AI Navigator now available in public beta

KETMarket has launched the public beta of the KETMarket AI Navigator, a new AI-powered chat tool for innovation, funding and technology search.

For R&D teams, innovation managers, technology providers and research organisations, finding the right information is often still too slow. Funding calls, research insights, project partners and technology offers are usually spread across different sources. This makes early project development harder than it needs to be.

The KETMarket AI Navigator is designed to make this process faster and more focused.

With direct access to KETMarket data, the AI Navigator helps users explore relevant opportunities in one conversation. Instead of manually searching through scattered information, users can ask targeted questions and receive structured suggestions for funding, collaboration and project development.

Users can ask questions such as:

  • What funding calls are available for battery research?
  • Which project partners could be relevant for this idea?
  • What could a first project concept look like?
  • Which technologies or expertise areas match my project topic?

In one conversation, the AI Navigator can support users with:

  • Suitable national and EU funding programmes
  • Potential project and consortium partners
  • Initial project ideas and concept structures
  • Relevant research and innovation insights
  • Technology search and scouting support

The tool is especially useful at the early stage of project development, when teams need to move from an idea to a realistic funding or collaboration pathway. It helps structure opportunities faster and gives users a practical starting point for proposal preparation, partner search or technology scouting.

The AI Navigator also increases the visibility of content published on KETMarket.

When users publish technologies, innovation offers, expertise profiles, funding opportunities or PartnerRequests on KETMarket, this content can become discoverable through the AI Navigator. This makes it easier for other users to find relevant capabilities and connect with the right organisations.

Key features include:

  • Built for innovation, funding and technology search
  • Direct access to KETMarket data
  • Improved visibility for published KETMarket content
  • Automatic access for Professional members
  • Hosted on KETMarket’s own server in Dresden
  • No data sent to external AI providers

For companies and research organisations, this is a practical step forward. Innovation search should not depend on hours of manual browsing or fragmented information sources. The AI Navigator brings funding, technology intelligence and partner discovery into a single workflow.

Professional members now have automatic access to the KETMarket AI Navigator after login.
