Our expertise of the most advanced techniques is your guarantee that the solution does not become “simpler than possible”.

Open innovation

Innovation is one of the most important strategies to differentiate from the competition. For most companies the question is not if they need to innovate, but how they are going to do it. The drivers for innovation are very diverse. The innovation objective may be to fill in a new customer demand, comply with new legislation or to lower the production cost of your product. Open innovation is at the very core of the business model of Octinion. For a lot of our projects we share the technological (and sometimes even the commercial) risk with our customer. This way even small companies can afford to develop new products.

What makes us different?

Octinion is your full service partner in technological innovation. As we’re a strong advocate of the open innovation paradigm, we’ll be able to reduce the cost for the customer in exchange for an extra fee when the project is successful (this may be a one-time success fee or a royalty per product) or in exchange for rights to the developed technology in other sectors. Next to the financial aspects (risk-sharing), one of the main advantages of open innovation is the cross-fertilization between different companies. Whatever your project, you will be able to benefit of the experience we have gathered in open innovation projects with others.
