Open innovation – sharing the brightest ideas
Sharing ideas and know-how can open up new avenues to innovation. Real breakthroughs can only be achieved by those able to see beyond the boundaries of their own expertise, discipline or group.
DSM’s long and successful track record of innovative change means we are in an excellent position to recognize bright ideas and opportunities when we see them, both inside and outside our company. We collaborate with the very best partners across the world – including universities and partners in key business areas.
DSM puts clever ideas to work
Venturing activities and the licensing-in and licensing-out of intellectual property allow us to achieve added value through active partnerships. Together with our licensing and venturing partners, we are looking to speed up and improve innovation. In this way we create sustainable solutions that meet market needs. That’s what we call putting clever ideas to work.
TopBob - together achieving the best performance
In sport, it’s all about achieving the best possible performance, day in, day out. It's also about teamwork and a passion and ambition to be the best and to improve your performance all the time. Innovations in the field of food and materials may well give a sports person that slight edge that can make the difference between winning and losing.
DSM is working on creating that winning edge through, amongst other things, innovative thinking in the TopBob project. We are doing so in cooperation with Eurotech, Modesi and universities of technology. This open innovation project is set on making the fastest bob – the ‘TopBob’ - for the Dutch team at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
