vendredi 8 février 2008

Innovation Incentive by innocentive.com

The www.innocentive.com website is like a forum of exchanges. InnoCentive guarantees the reliability and the legitimacy of the companies which post theirs demands ( business, scientific, product development) and propose rewards to people who provide solutions. Companies contact InnoCentive by declaring itself «seekers» and publish on Internet their problems of R&D.


A department of InnoCentive helps the companies which wish it to formulate their question while protecting their anonymity. He makes sure that the classic legal, scientific and commercial requirements are verified. The problems are put on-line on the site with a summary of the demand, a deadline of answer and the amount of the reward attributed to the best solution (between $2000 and 100 000). To post a demand, the company applicant pays a deposit advance to InnoCentive, generally around $2000. To have more precision on the demand, it is necessary to be beforehand registered as to solver.

The scientists of the whole world are eligible. They have to join by performing an on-line form and to accept a payment emitted by InnoCentive. Its created a secured on-line space called Project Room who contains details and diverse requirements connected to every problem. InnoCentive takes charge of the evaluation of the solution; six of theirs scientists help companies’ customers to review the proposed solutions and to select the best. There are two types of answers, with very different fixings of a price scale:

- The short answer “paper answer”: the scientist subjects a “proposal of thought” which explains how he would at affect the problem. The reward is of the order of some thousand $.

- The long answer, which implies to supply a strategy of realization. It is necessary to give details of the way to resolve the problem.

All the solutions must be validated by the company applicant and to be able to be reproduced in a laboratory. When the problem was resolved, InnoCentive takes charge of the transfer of the rights of intellectual property then of the payment. It pays the researcher and pays by asking to the company for applicant between 60 and 100 % of the reward offered in conformance with the payment for its service. At present approximately 80 problems are in the course of proposition. More than 25 000 scientists registered as “solvers” to examine the questions and subject their on-line solutions This formula allows the scientists to receive a public gratitude and a financial reward to have resolved the challenges of R&D.

Example of challenges:

- Reduced fat chocolate-flavored coating compound material is desired.
- A method for nitric acid regeneration utilizing ambient air in a small reactor is desired.
- A material is needed to replace aluminium that has similar thermal properties

For the moment, the Business and Entrepreneurship challenges are not very developed but, I think A successful tool to allow in begun to develop at the marketing level, leadership, production, financial problem ect….
