Innovation Ecosystems
By nurturing open innovation ecosystems, we get companies of all shapes and sizes to work together on use-cases that tackle societal topics.
The challenges our society and its citizens face today are too complex for just one company to solve. An innovation ecosystem stimulates knowledge sharing, boost innovation and can result in marketable solutions.
Ecosystem
The way an ecosystem works goes as follows:
Founding Partners
invest in the ecosystem. In return, they determine its objective and thematics on which it will work,
Active members
(Corporates, startups, and incubators) in the ecosystem collaborate during the ideation and prototyping phase on the use-cases,
Influencer members
provide the ecosystem with knowledge, technology, infrastructure or other resources,
Investors and subsides
provide the ecosystem with extra funds.
Our Methodology
Our signature methodlogy guides the entire ecosystem throughout 4 different phases:
Step 1 | Ideation
Step 2 | Prototyping
Step 3 | Demonstration
Step 4 | Implementation
