  • {{source_industry}}: The industry where the technology is currently used (e.g., "healthcare").
  • {{target_industry}}: The industry where the technology could be applied (e.g., "automotive manufacturing").

Instructions

  • Stay within the scope of the two specified industries; do not broaden to unrelated sectors.
  • Flag any assumptions you make about the technology's maturity or adoption rate.

Example {{technology}} = "blockchain for supply chain tracking", {{source_industry}} = "logistics", {{target_industry}} = "pharmaceuticals"
