Climate Innovation services for Corporates
Future-proof your business with open innovation projects for your corporate sustainability
Why open innovation
The climate transition of our industries demands high levels of innovation in companies’ products, services and business models, while dealing with the complexity of climate technologies and solutions.
An open approach to corporate innovation allows companies to achieve their sustainability goals in a more efficient and faster way, while lowering R&D and innovation costs.
We support corporates’ sustainability innovation, by designing ad hoc inbound open innovation projects to help them efficiently solve their sustainability challenges, through networking, interaction and collaboration with climate tech startups.
Why collaborating with
climate tech startups
1. New, Disruptive Ideas and Expertise
The development of climate solutions and technologies requires a large number of resources, technical skills and specialized personnel. By collaborating with startups, you can get access to a large pool of external ideas, breakthrough innovations, expertise and technical skills in the climate space.
2. Reduces R&D and Innovation Costs
Internal climate innovation can lead to spending significant resources on in-house research and development, as well as investing substantial resources into untested ideas.
Get your hand on startups’ solutions with proven commercial traction and validated climate impact and technologies
3. Plug&Play Climate Solutions
Climate tech startups offer directly applicable solutions and technologies that can be easily integrated within your company structures and processes, to address your sustainability problems and pledges from the supply chain side.
4. Increased Agility and Speed
Compared to more structured companies, startups are more flexible and quick to adapt to changes and work around obstacles in the innovation process. Collaborating with agile realities allows you to reduce the risks associated with the internal innovation process and increase your ability to adapt.
