How Does It Work?

Seekers- corporations and nonprofit organizations - post Challenges to the InnoCentive Open Innovation Marketplace™. Challenges cover a wide range of industries and disciplines including Business and Entrepreneurship, Math, Computer Science, Physical Sciences, Chemistry and Life Sciences.

Each Challenge has a solution submission deadline and is assigned a cash award that ranges from $10,000 to $100,000. Registered InnoCentive Solvers can open a Project Room and begin working on any Challenge they wish. The Seeker organization reviews all submissions, and issues the award to the Solver who submits the best answer.
