Module 2: crowdsourcing and idea creation

• Crowdsourcing: identify the right match of ‘pioneering’ social entrepreneurs’ to help solve the innovation challenge.
• Idea creation: stretch the innovation threshold and expose pioneering solutions to the innovation challenge
• Select: assess and select with you the solution that has the most potential to improve your company’s competitive edge.

A key component of the Innovation Services is the crowdsourcing whereby i-propeller mobilises the intelligence of social entrepreneurs to fuel new and strong ideas in the innovation process. Social entrepreneurs are recognised as pioneers in developing business solutions responding to new societal trends.  Hence they are ideally positioned to inspire the innovation process.

i-propeller has access to over 1400 social entrepreneurs via both academic and non-academic networks.
