Industry Commons

Open Innovation Methodology, Toolkit and Ecosystem

Community

The Industry Commons gathers a diverse community of brilliant independent inventors, creative developers, SMEs, researchers and technologists. These innovators work within a creative testbed – an interdisciplinary and collaborative context for rapid knowledge transfer and exchange of ideas through physical interaction and prototyping – to meet grand challenges.

The innovators are provided with a range of tools, datasets and interfaces gathered from industry participants from which to build new projects and products in a combinatory and additive fashion. Industry engineers provide mentorship and coaching to innovators for the use of the tools, and innovators provide feedback to the engineers that can inform and enhance future iterations of the source technologies.

Promising ideas developed by teams of innovators within the creative testbed events are developed within a startup incubator framework and with close mentorship from organisations whose technologies have been adopted by the innovators for their project.
