Open Innovation Marketplace

Many companies and R&T Organizations are already using the Internet and Digital Platforms to develop new Open Innovation processes to find new technology, innovate faster, engage with new external technology organizations more efficiently while building their global trusted network of innovation partners. The use of Digital Platforms at University level can provide direct connections between the university research community and external stakeholders. The main objectives are to (1) improve the process of knowledge transfer into the market in the form of products and services, (2) make research output much more available to the market and (3) provide the research community with an easy access channel to research funding opportunities and collaborative projects from the global market.

If successfully implemented, Universities can better allocate for Intellectual property protection expenditure.
