Introduction to Open Innovation
Our Open Innovation (OI) programme supports Challenge Holders in finding innovative solutions to their key business challenges. This is via a proven process for identifying innovators with promising solutions, assessing their ideas, and facilitating collaborative pilots leading to positive outcomes.
- For Challenge Holders, the OI process strengthens supply chains, allows quick exposure to new technologies and leverages Innovate UK's cross-sector networks to fast track the innovation procurement process in a time efficient manner.
- Solution Providers gain access to large businesses, engage in ongoing project collaboration, receive up to £25,000 in seed funding, and benefit from pitching and development support.
