Research Driven Innovation (RDI)

Research to answer companies’ questions, point to future directions, and support their long-term business development.

Innovation Driven Research (IDR)

Innovation in companies as a stimulus for new research, raising new questions, opening new horizons, and identifying new applications for research results.

These two pathways are not separate

They converge within the Spokes, which serve as the shared platform where researchers and companies co-build innovation programmes oriented towards real-world impact.

The goal is to make the connection between companies and research as direct as possible, transforming business challenges into concrete research questions.

Businesses looking to structure their innovation roadmap are guided through a dedicated programme: from an initial self-assessment to identifying relevant research departments, co-designing joint projects, and participating in collective expeditions.
