Cultivate Business Growth through Open Innovation and Collaboration

In today’s complex and competitive business world, companies that do not innovate risk being obsolete and irrelevant. Instead of relying entirely on internal ideas, open innovation allows companies to tap onto external ideas and technologies for their own businesses, while allowing their unused ideas to be used by others.

The five-day Open Innovation Webinar offers innovation managers from corporates, SMEs or government agencies insights into how open innovation can work for their organisations, and give them access to tools and platforms offered by IPI to accelerate their innovation journeys through collaboration.
