InnoCentive built the first online Open Innovation Marketplace, and is the global leader in prize-based Open Innovation sourcing, enabling scientists, engineers, professionals and entrepreneurs to collaborate in a global community to deliver breakthrough solutions for R&D-driven organizations. The InnoCentive Marketplace connects organizations, hungry for breakthrough innovation, with a global network of more than 125,000 of the brightest minds and problem solvers.
How does the InnoCentive Open Innovation Marketplace work?
- Seekers - commercial, government and nonprofit organizations – anonymously post their toughest Challenges to the InnoCentive web site.
- Each Challenge is posted with a description of the problem, a solution due date, and a cash award, ranging from $5000 to $1,000,000 for the best solution.
- InnoCentive Solvers - scientists, inventors, engineers, business people and research organizations – join the InnoCentive community to submit solutions to Challenges.
- The Seeker organization chooses the best solution that meets their requirements and the winning InnoCentive Solver receives the cash award.
