Last year, research-driven companies analyzed 8.9 million papers through Slate. That’s the equivalent of reading nearly 244,000 books cover to cover.

What they found weren’t just papers. They found solutions.

And those solutions didn’t always come from within their own domain.

Slate surfaced insights from wherever the solution lived, whether it was a skincare problem solved by the food industry, or a packaging challenge already cracked by the battery industry.

It made those connections visible for those teams. Across disciplines, across fields, across the noise.

Here’s how:

Research teams got back 1.8 million hours. Time is the scarcest resource in R&D. This year, Slate helped teams reclaim over 1.8 million man-hours, time previously lost to landscape mapping and literature reviews. That’s equivalent to adding 900 full-time researchers to an organization.

511,011 hours were saved on landscape analysis.

1,294,834 hours were saved on research execution.

The intelligence grew throughout the year. Competitive advantage depends on having better information. This year, Slate’s knowledge base expanded to cover:

239 million new papers and patents

450 million documents updated with latest data

Intelligence from 104 countries and 315,000 companies actively tracked

266,000 publication sources monitored continuously

Slate kept pace with evolving needs. R&D challenges don’t wait for annual updates. Neither did our team:

180 new features and enhancements shipped

Consecutive releases for 40 straight weeks

3 major updates every month

In November, we launched Slate 2.0, our biggest leap forward in becoming a complete R&D intelligence ecosystem.

The projects teams completed faster this year, the insights they uncovered, and the dead ends they avoided. That’s Slate’s real impact.
