What’s in it for me?

What is Open Innovation ?

Resources in the traditional ecosystem of a company appear to be insufficient for many Needs.

BENEFITS :

• Accelerate innovation by using external & most relevant expertise and by finding existing solutions which can be adapted to your Needs.

• Enable cross-fertilization between industries and between disciplines.

• Maximize your ROI and minimize risks, investments & long-term commitments.

Open innovation is the paradigm according to which companies need to use external ideas, knowledge & technologies to advance their business.
