Open Innovation with Venture Clients
Our Open Innovation model supports and connects dynamic startup teams with industry leaders, SMEs and public sector organizations to solve current challenges in their digital transformation strategy. The Venture Client method means these agents work with startup teams by contracting them to implement solutions for real paid projects. A win-win approach leveraging the flexibility and expertise of young startups with the experience and resources of venture clients / well-established companies and organizations.
