Open Innovation Salzburg: The State Needs New Ideas!

We believe in the power of the crowd. Therefore, we ask exactly you! Open Innovation Salzburg brings together what belongs together: Salzburg residents and our companies in the state. Because together we will find sustainable solutions for a future-proof and livable Salzburg.

In the age of digitization, Open Innovation opens up new paths of innovation and radically generates new ideas by integrating unusual ideas providers, e.g. users and experts from other companies, regions or even other industries, into innovation processes at an early stage. With open innovation, companies not only tinker with new ideas within their company, but also involve actors such as customers, users, suppliers or interested people in the innovation process right form the start. With their knowledge and experience, they all contribute to the development of new solutions. In this way, products are developed that are closer to the customer’s ideas and thus have greater success on the market.

The Open Innovation Competence Platform Salzburg is a joint initiative of ITG – Innovation Service for Salzburg, Salzburg Research, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Private University Schloß Seeburg, University of Salzburg and the State of Salzburg.
