Co-Innovation
WHY Co-Innovation?
Co-innovation opens up new horizons. When companies, partners and customers combine their strengths, solutions are created that would not be possible on their own and have the potential to fundamentally change industries. Here, collaborative creativity meets concrete results that make a tangible difference - a power of innovation that creates new paths and shows how collaboration can shape the future.
Synergy effects through partner combination
Combining the expertise of different partners leads to mutual enrichment, resulting in innovative solutions that benefit everyone involved.
Accelerated innovation processes
Access to a broad network and efficient moderation of innovation processes by experts accelerate the development of ideas into market-ready products and services.
Cost efficiency
Co-innovation enables resources to be used more efficiently and costs to be shared, making the innovation process more cost-effective than independent developments.
Enhanced market knowledge and customer orientation
Collaboration with various partners, including end users, increases understanding of market needs and customer expectations, leading to more targeted and successful innovations.
Access to new technologies and expertise
Partners in the network often contribute specialized knowledge and technologies that may not be available to individual companies, which strengthens the technological basis and innovative power.
Risk reduction and quick adaptability
Co-innovation spreads the risks across several shoulders and enables flexible adaptation to changing market conditions and technologies.
We connect players and technologies for the future
For us, co-innovation means combining the expertise of our partners in such a way that everyone benefits as a result. As a Challenge Owner, you benefit in particular from supplementing skills that are lacking in the company with our cooperation partners, learning from best practices from other industries and thus realizing innovation projects more quickly.
