Methodology
OpenIX connects solution seekers and providers by engaging the open innovation market to find solutions for Challenges posed by regional innovation seekers from government, state-owned enterprises, private companies and local communities; whilst creating opportunities for solution providers and entrepreneurs from the region.
We use a proprietary, rigorous and robust C4 methodology to define the organisation's need or Challenge which is then posted on the platform and activated through a focused campaign that funnels 1000’s of contacts down to a handful of high potential solutions. A similar approach is used to assist innovators in showcasing their Technology Offers.
