Barcelona, 21th May 2009 - Innoget is announcing today the launching of the new collaborative Portal for Open Innovation www.innoget.com .

The Internet portal aims to be the meeting point for companies and innovators. Via Innoget companies connect with a worldwide network of scientist, engineers, scientific organizations and technology based companies related to different knowledge areas: life science, chemistry, physics, computer science, engineering and technologic sciences.

 The origin of Innoget is Connectainnova, the first Open Innovation Portal in Spain. “Due to the fantastic answer to Connectainnova we have decided to remodelate the platform, offer new services, change it into a global platform and adapt our corporative image to international markets”, says David Ràfols, Innoget Director. As a result Innoget begins with an English language version available as from today, and will continue with a Spanish language version which will be ready in short.

Open innovation: XXI century innovation

Open Innovation is mainly based on the idea that in a world where knowledge is widely spread, companies cannot afford to depend barely on their own research capacity. On the contrary they have the opportunity to obtain processes or inventions from other companies (for example, patents). “Under these circumstances, Innoget is conceived as a tool for companies to switch from a close innovation model to a Open Innovation system”, says Ràfols

¿How does it work?

The platform allows R+D & Innovation departments to find answers to their innovations needs within the scientific community by publishing their technologic challenges. In addition, Innoget offers two tools for companies to either demand technology related to their activity (the so called  Innovation Box-in) or to post the technology there are ready to sell  (the so called  Innovation Box-out).
