'''Technology Intelligence (TI)''' is an activity that enables companies to identify the [[technology|technological]] opportunities and threats that could affect the future growth and survival of their business. It aims to capture and disseminate the technological information needed for [[strategic planning]] and decision making. As technology life cycles shorten and business become more [[globalize]]d having effective TI capabilities is becoming increasingly important.<ref>[http://publications.eng.cam.ac.uk/12771/ Technology intelligence: Identifying threats and opportunities from new technologies] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080403035608/http://publications.eng.cam.ac.uk/12771/ |date=2008-04-03 }} Mortara, L. and Kerr, C. and Phaal, R. and Probert, D., [[University of Cambridge]] (2007)

In the United States, [[Project Socrates]] identified the exploitation of technology as the most effective foundation for decision making for the complete set of functions within the private and public sectors that determine competitiveness.<ref>{{cite journal | title = DoD Unveils Competitive Tool: Project Socrates Offers Valuable Analysis | journal = Washington Technology | date = 1988-05-05 | first = Esther | last = Smith| id = }}</ref>

The [[Centre for Technology Management]] has defined 'technology intelligence' as "the capture and delivery of technological information as part of the process whereby an organisation develops an awareness of technological threats and opportunities."<ref>[http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ind/ijtip/2006/00000002/00000001/art00006 A conceptual model for technology intelligence.
