This is what the typical process of an innovation project on the platform looks like in 4 phases.

The innovation platform was developed by the experts at Neurovation GmbH, a spin-off of our cooperation partner ISN – innovation service network, and was implemented in the second half of 2020. As a modern, web-based tool, the platform combines idea management with the latest „social software,“ thereby increasing the level of networking for collective idea generation and problem-solving.
