Community Led Open Innovation

Corporate innovation and the Entrepreneur both need what the other has to offer. A novel new innovation approach connects Corporate NEEDS with Entrepreneurs, Startups, Researchers, and Technology Providers to globally seek knowledge, novel solutions, and create partnerships.

Community Led Open Innovation is an approach centered on open innovation principles but instead of being led by Corporations each running their own process, it is led by the Technical Community, modeled around the Entrepreneurial Mindset, in the Cloud, as a Best Practice Workflow. The Technical Community is formed by Members, Entrepreneurs, Startups, Mentors, Retirees, Investors and commercial pathway Supply Chain Partners & Suppliers. 

From within the Technical Community, NEEDS Briefs seeking knowledge, resources, capabilities, and technical solutions can be posted. With global diversity, in an online Best Practice Workflow format, across an innovation specific network, NEEDS Briefs are anonymously and non-confidentially communicated to the broader global Technical Community, who can receive and respond in a near real time manner, connecting, exploring, creating opportunities, and forming partnerships in a completely new way.

• FIND OPPORTUNITIES: As a member of the Technical Community you can seek opportunities to provide solutions and form partnerships with Members, Investors, Mentors, Retirees, Supply Chain Partners, and others in the Technical Community.

• SEARCH GLOBALLY: As a member you can post NEEDS Briefs seeking knowledge, solutions, and partnerships across the broad and global Technical Community.

• INNOVATE DIFFERENTLY: For Corporate Innovation groups, a comprehensive set of Innovation Portfolio Management tracking analytical tools and dashboards are available to management your external innovation pipeline of Opportunities.
