Supporting innovators innovate

1. Ecosystems Innovation
Over the past 20 years many companies have
embraced the opportunities offered by the concept
of open innovation: using both internal and external
ideas, resources and networks to improve
innovation performance. Most companies are
already benefiting from working with external
innovation partners, such as universities, suppliers,
research institutes and start-ups.

Ecosystems Innovation DNA
One approach doesn’t fit
all
Being part of an ecosystem
innovation does not automatically
mean you are capturing its full
potential. Awareness and trust
need to be built, alliances need to
be forged, and standards need to
be established.
In 2019 - Majority of companies are looking for ecosystems driven innovation to fuel growth

2. Ecosystems innovation is typically
characterized by a number of characteristics:
 Collaboration exists between “Core & Adjacent Markets”
partners as well as universities, research institutes,
customers and suppliers.. There are often potentially
hundreds of collaborating partners requiring technologies
currently available in the market.
 Collaboration is often enabled by digital and other rapidly
evolving technologies. Digital technologies may also
enable “convergence” across industries to create truly
novel solutions around particularly important market
needs. One example is autonomous driving, which is
developing at a breathtaking pace thanks to the
collaborative efforts of companies from very different
industries.
 Relationships evolve rapidly. Start-ups mature, initiatives
may fail and strategic interests will often diverge.
 There is availability of data and a culture of sharing
information and intelligence within a fit-for purpose
IP framework.
The Future is Now!
