Scaling Collaborative Innovation Without the Overload
Many leading companies keenly seek to collaborate with emerging talent and universities, recognising the value of new perspectives. The critical challenge, however, often lies in how to scale these efforts effectively, make them continuous, and optimise for genuine value creation without overburdening internal resources. This is precisely where Demola's proven model provides a structured, efficient solution.
Our Solution: Continuous Engine for Scaled Co-Creation
Demola operates as a dynamic co-creation platform, seamlessly connecting companies with innovation teams from universities and senior free experts. Our approach mirrors the principles of venture investment: to achieve significant, high-value outcomes, a consistent volume of exploratory projects is essential, embracing experimentation as part of the innovation game.
Partnership Model
We understand that every partnership is unique. That’s why we often start with a focused engagement, evolving the collaboration model as the partnership deepens and mutual understanding grows. It’s often beneficial to begin with a manageable scope, allowing your own staff to build co-creation habits and identify the right internal champions. Demola's extensive project portfolio ensures you still gain wide reach and access to a large number of innovative experiments, even when initiating the partnership on a smaller scale.

“We live in our own expert bubble, and we have perceptions and beliefs that can also be false. The gap between these could be huge. Through teamwork, we learned to see our own blind spots and better understand the perspective of the average end-user.”

“Unbiased feedback for our thoughts. This work revealed us to think and removed the stress and pressure to create business value or benefits. If this had not been an open innovation project like this, we would never have received such insights but instead our gaze would have been narrower, and we would have only looked to the near future.”
