What is Innopearl Open Challenges?

Innopearl Open Challenges connects startups, universities, established businesses and other innovators with real business, innovation and technology challenges from companies looking for relevant solutions, technologies and potential partners.

Do I need to be a registered company to join Open Challenges?

Yes. You need to be a registered legal entity to create a profile and participate in Open Challenges. This can include a startup, scaleup, university, research organisation, established business or other registered entity with relevant technology, expertise, products or solutions.
Each company posting a challenge selects the types of partners it is open to working with, helping ensure that opportunities are relevant to the organisations applying.

Which industries does Innopearl support?

Innopearl supports companies and innovators across industries including food & beverage, consumer goods, industrials, healthcare, technology, telecommunications, entertainment and services.

Open Challenges is designed around business and innovation needs rather than a single industry, so innovators can discover opportunities based on the relevance of their capabilities and solutions.

How long does it take to create my company profile?

Creating a profile takes around 7 minutes on average.

To save you time, your profile is pre-filled based on your pitch deck, which you can review and validate before it becomes active. You remain in control of the information in your profile.

Can I update my profile after creating it?

Yes. You are always in control of your profile. You can update your company information, capabilities, technologies, solutions and other relevant details as your business evolves.

Keeping your profile up to date also helps Innopearl identify relevant corporate innovation challenges and partnership opportunities for your company.

Can I apply to more than one innovation challenge?

Yes. You can apply to multiple corporate challenges that are relevant to your capabilities, technology or solutions.

You do not need to complete your company profile again for each challenge. Once your profile is created, you can use it to apply to other relevant opportunities.

What happens if a challenge I apply to is not the right fit?

You can still be matched with other opportunities. If a particular challenge does not result in a relevant opportunity, Innopearl can identify other business and innovation challenges that better match your capabilities, technology or areas of expertise.

How are opportunities matched to my company?

Innopearl goes beyond simple keyword matching to assess the strategic and business fit between your capabilities and the needs behind a corporate challenge.

This helps identify relevant opportunities based on your technology, expertise, solution capabilities and the specific requirements of the business challenge.

Will I have access to the company posting the challenge?

When your solution is considered relevant, your profile or application can be shared with the organisation responsible for the challenge. If the company is interested, this can lead to a direct conversation with the relevant business, innovation, R&D or venture team.

How does Innopearl manage my data?

Innopearl manages your information in accordance with its Data Policy, which explains how personal and company data is collected, used, stored and protected.

Please refer to our Data Policy for full details.
