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

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.
