In a series of postings, we introduce some key figures and results from
our 2013
OIA Study – A Market Report & Comparison of more than 160 Open Innovation Accelerators (OIAs)
-- intermediaries, brokers, platforms, and consultancies for open innovation
and customer co-creation.
In our 2013 market study, we also investigated who is using the services offered by the OIAs. First, we find that clients are served globally, and at the same time, OIAs often have the opportunity to also search and call globally for participation. The U.S., however, still is clearly leading the OI field of applications.
Open innovation is not focused on special industries. We were surprised by the breadth of industries covered by the OIA's client lists. Especially the electronics industries are strong. Agriculture could benefit from a larger attention for OI.
However, within all industries, clients from SMEs are still the minority. OI still is a game of global organizations with a dedicated innovation management function.
Interestingly, we today find rather larger share of non-profit organizations among the clients of the OIAs. NGOs and clients from the public sector are strongly increasing. This may be the outcome of recent "Open government" trend.
