Successful open innovation strategies overcome the frictions that occur between small, agile companies & large corporates, combining speed and scale. Open innovation is the answer to changing market conditions and customer needs. In the age of digitalization, only those companies will be among the first few to actively access broad knowledge and thus provide better, faster and cheaper solutions than others.

Our services
as your solution.

Startup/scaleup scouting

We leverage our own portfolio of 1,000+ startups, our proprietary databases with 20k applications/year and our AI-powered scouting platform FuelUp with 500k emerging technologies to find startups and scaleups addressing your specific innovation opportunities and challenges.

Startup/scaleup assessment

Once we have identified a "long list" of innovative companies that can fit your brief, we use multiple lenses to assess the most interesting ones, deriving a "short list" of startups and scale-ups with whom you can cooperate with, by looking not only at their technology and track record but also their attitude and fit with your corporate culture.

Open venture building

We help you co-design new solutions with selected startups and scaleups, by bridging your corporate culture and way of working with those of the agile innovators, engaging your relevant stakeholders, ensuring that the Lean Innovation approach is followed and measuring the appropriate metrics of success.
We take a role in advising you how to measure and fund early stage disruptive ventures appropriately. Which metrics should you measure, when is it ready to scale, and how much money needs to be invested and why.
