Over 60 years dedicated to technological intelligence and innovation-driven decision-making

Expertise forged at the heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry

Founded in 1964 under the name CENTREDOC, our centre was established to support the Swiss watchmaking industry in its search for patent and technological information. This culture of rigour and analysis remains the cornerstone of our approach to this day.

A move towards cross-sectoral intelligence

Over the decades, our expertise has expanded to cover numerous technology sectors, such as medtech, life sciences, advanced materials, chemistry and sport. We now support a wide range of organisations in their innovation initiatives, tailoring our methods to the specific complexities of each partner.

Information as a strategic lever

Today, beyond research and monitoring, our work involves analysing and putting information into context in order to inform technological and strategic decisions. Patents, scientific publications, market data and regulatory information are examined within their context, cross-referenced and interpreted to provide structured and relevant analyses. Our role is not merely to collect information, but to make sense of it and turn it into a tool for decision-making.

Expertise enhanced by advanced technologies

To support this approach, we utilise advanced analytical tools (automation, semantic analysis, artificial intelligence) that facilitate the processing and structuring of large volumes of data. These technologies underpin our analytical process and enhance the quality of the insights we provide to our clients.

An independent cooperative model

SCBT-CENTREDOC is a Swiss non-profit cooperative. Our independence ensures an objective and confidential approach, focused exclusively on the interests of our members and clients.
