2022, a year of high impact strategic projects

Open Innovation Forum

The Open Innovation Forum, a program that allows companies to share their innovation challenges on an online platform and get proposals from research groups and centers, held its fifth edition in 2022.

The Open Innovation Forum is a program that features a matchmaking platform that puts companies with challenges in touch with research groups from the BioRegion. Its aims are: to find ways to improve the product/service and development processes, offer new products, improve quality, provide support for validation and prototyping and explore new areas of interest.

In 2022, 15 companies and 40 problem solvers took part in the program. There were 57 meetings held to try to provide a solution to the 31 challenges posed, all in the life sciences and healthcare, food, chemistry, energy and resources, industrial systems and mobility arenas.
