Expert Guidance from InnoCentive Client Services

Our Client Services team is available to help you craft your Challenge and chose the right Challenge Type to meet your goals. They also proactively solicit Solvers with interests in your Challenge. Once the Challenge Submissions are in, they read and filter all the submissions and present you with only the best responses. You then choose which proposed solution best meets your needs. Throughout this process, they maintain your anonymity, and once a Solution has been chosen by you, the Client Services team verifies the Solver and transfers the IP rights to you, the Seeker.
