In today’s world, there is not always time to create innovations within a company. Moreover, corporations may have capital and resources, but they often lack the agility, prototyping culture or knowledge of the latest trends that are necessary to create innovation. The solution is open innovation, which is an effective way of acquiring new ideas and partners. This is because successes are achieved primarily by those companies that cooperate with others, while establishing valuable long-term relationships. However, the problem is often to reach the best innovators. That is why the digital innovation platform was created.
