HOW WE DO IT

Community, partnerships and open innovation Innovally activates the ecosystem through three interconnected program lines. Together, they create a continuous flow from engagement to collaboration and acceleration.

Community Program

We organize and grow an active innovation community at the front of the ecosystem. We bring people together through meetups, events, masterclasses and thematic sessions across energy, mobility, urban development, high tech and dual-use technologies. We foster knowledge sharing, peer learning and talent connections. We create visibility for innovators, ideas and emerging technologies, both physically and digitally. The Community Program is the entry point to Innovally: where connections begin and innovation takes shape.

Partner Program

We build long-term public–private partnerships that form the backbone of the ecosystem. We work with founding, corporate and domain partners to co-develop programs, challenges and initiatives. Partners contribute expertise, networks, facilities and real-world challenges, while Innovally provides positioning, visibility, ecosystem access and orchestration. The Partner Program aligns ambition, resources and strategy to enable sustainable collaboration and shared impact. Digital community platform Collaborative workspaces Mentorship programs

Open Innovation Program

We turn challenges into solutions and ideas into scalable impact. We design and run open innovation challenges, co-creation trajectories, accelerator programs and pilot projects. We connect startups and scale-ups with corporates and public organizations around concrete use cases. We support validation, testing and scaling through access to funding, test environments, regulatory knowledge and international networks. The Open Innovation Program is where collaboration accelerates and innovation becomes real
