Open Innovation in a hybrid system

Indovinya recognizes the benefits of open innovation to accelerate processes, share and reduce risks and costs, and foster the innovation ecosystem by raising the profile of research institutions and generating value for society. The company operates this model in several projects. But not only that.

Indovinya’s innovation system is hybrid. Each case is analyzed under the guidance of the innovation area, considering questions of intellectual property and the technical and structural needs of each project. With more clarity in decisions, flow can remain exclusively with internal teams, or with the contribution of external experts and institutions.

Whatever the path taken, the Innovation and Open Innovation Management team monitors the entire development of the project. Several tools are used in the organization and orientation of each step of the process, promoting the intersection between analytical thinking and intuition, and we often use the Design Thinking methodology with ideas that will be transformed into strategic roadmaps, composed of solutions and capable of overcoming different challenges.

This approach to external collaboration includes a key step: finding the right partners. The expertise of the team dedicated to innovation allows the rapid and secure definition of who to collaborate with and in which model, from simple service delivery, through proofs of concept and even co-developments.

Although open innovation presupposes the sharing of information, security and transparency must be ensured in the process. Each partnership is discussed and formalized with the Legal area, respecting Indovinya’s compliance rules, always seeking most benefits for both parties. In addition, Indovinya applies the Legal Innovation Framework to define the scope of each partnership, with the criteria for the sharing of risks, results, and adequate remuneration for the gains achieved.

This is the way Indovinya operates open innovation, generating shared value, respecting rules, valuing partners, and promoting technological advancement in Brazil and worldwide.
