Build a culture of innovation

Skipso's ecosystem tools turn idea management into a community activity — driving ongoing engagement and ensuring good ideas don't get lost between campaigns.

Community engagement

Keep members active between campaigns with resources, events, and announcements; members can follow challenges and stay updated on outcomes

Track submissions, conversion rates, ideas progressing per stage, and outcomes; report on innovation impact to stakeholders.

Skipso supported us to design, develop and launch the Federated Innovation @MIND digital platform.

The digital platform has a complex organizational structure and continually updated content and flows – Skipso's strength is its flexibility and proactive support!

The features available through the software are a big reason why we initially chose and continue to choose Skipso to run our challenges.

The ability to match startups to mentors within the system is important to us.

I cannot imagine how much longer it would have taken

and how much more it would have cost to launch our ideation initiative without the Skipso Labs platform. It has been wonderful to house all of the information and processes in one place.

In 2019, Skipso helped IsDB set up our Innovation platform ‘Engage’.

The platform was a complete ecosystem of entrepreneurs, researchers, investors and mentors from academia. Since then the highly responsive and enthusiastic team from SkipsoLabs has helped us to establish Engage as a well-known innovation hub.
