innovation
A company's CEO talking about how innovation is a company principle and marketable products arise from an abundance of ideas. Then he goes on to say:
"Unser Chancen liegen im Vorsprung, den wissensschwere Erzeugnisse ermoeglichen"
I also found "wissensschwere" described as "Produkte mit Köpfchen" which one could potentially translate as "intelligent/smart products" depending on the context.
My proposal:
"Our chances lie in a competitive edge, which allows us to develop creative products"
Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
Best,
Matt

sophisticated
Our chances lie in a competitive edge made possible by our sophisticated products.
Just a thought. The highly developed and sophisticated products bring about the competitive edge rather than the other way around.

It's funny, now that I read the sentence again after reading your comments, the order is much more clear.
Thanks again everyone!"

As pointed out above "wissensschwer" is über-pompous, so you could maybe maintain the register by using this dread descriptor which is springing up everywhere lately.
