The Challenge
To maximize the value from their collaborative innovation activities, they had a complex set of pathways that engagement with a startup or company could follow:
• scale-up projects
• co-development partnerships
• insource new disruptive technologies
• identify investment opportunities
"Bloomflow is the critical enabler to our collaborative innovation process. With it, we can put in place a guiding whilst flexible infrastructure that both aligns the organization's efforts and forces us to transform startup engagement into real value for real people."

The Solution
Bloomflow provides the architecture for their complex innovation workflows. All teams have clarity on how to identify a startup and progress a collaboration through several evaluation steps to four possible outcomes. This helps turn startup relationships into real business value.
They built the platform hand-in-hand with their dedicated Customer Success Manager, ensuring that their real life processes are fully reflected in the digital workflows embedded in the tool.
