Collaborative innovation

Traditionally, the search for new ideas has tended to happen ‘behind closed doors’, in research labs and design departments, all carefully protected by intellectual property rights. But this is rapidly changing. Today, innovation is far less controlled and predictable. A good idea can come from (literally) anywhere.

connect

This greater fluidity is hugely positive for innovation. We're developing a range of programmes that encourage people to connect across organisations, places and disciplines. We believe that putting people and organisations together in unusual combinations sparks new ideas and new perspectives on old problems.
