Beiersdorf expands partnership with Innoget to foster open innovation

Beiersdorf has expanded its partnership with the global open innovation network Innoget, in order to foster more open industry-wide collaboration and idea sharing.

The company's Trusted Network innovation platform is to be presented with its own profile on the Innoget portal, which is designed to help companies make contacts with the scientific community and industry partners in a confidential and protected environment.

Beiersdorf has been making use of the Innoget platform since April 2014 and has received a considerable number of interesting offers through its technology scouting channel, with several promising opportunities for cooperation having kicked off.

A closer collaboration with Innoget will allow Beiersdorf's research and development unit to consciously focusing on scouting new technologies in fields beyond cosmetics.

Pia Rucker, senior technology manager at Beiersdorf's research and development division, said: "With the connection of the two portals, we are strengthening our network with external partners, especially in the areas of life science and chemistry."

This comes as part of the company's broader Pearlfinders open innovation strategy, which has helped Beiersdorf to forge key connections with leading research institutes, universities and suppliers.
