PopSci & Innocentive Plan New Open Innovation Pavilion

One of the largest science and technology publications, PopSci, and a leader in Crowdsource Driven Innovation, InnoCentive, have announced their recent partnership to develop a new online challenge platform. The platform, or pavilion, uses crowdsourcing as a means to facilitate open innovation and allows problem solvers to provide solutions to challenges in science, technology, and engineering.

Popular Science magazine, published by the Bonnier Corporate has a global readership of over 7 million making it one of the leading science and technology publications. InnoCentive is a global leader in the development promotion of open innovation and cloud-based technology platform servicing major non-profit and commercial organisations such as NASA and Procter & Gamble respectively. Their joint Pavilion program will be hosted on their respective websites for anyone interested to enter and take on any of the challenges posted.

Creative problem solvers can use the Popular Science’s Pavilion to find solutions to a host challenges in an assortment of scientific disciplines . Corporations, Government agencies, and non-profit organizations can post different scienific challenges ranging from oil spill recovery to energy solutions in the rural areas of Africa to improve treatments for tuberculosis. Popular Science will also plan its own challenges to be launched in May and all of which are open to creative problem solvers. InnoCentive’s Pavilion, through its network of over 250,000 problem solvers, and its established cloud-based platforms, will open its doors to an assortment of challenges from a wider range of organisations, than those listed above

Some of the most ingenious solutions to scientific hurdles have come from those outside the field, and we’re thrilled to join with InnoCentive to bring that spirit of innovation and creativity to our audience. Mark Janot Editor-In-Chief  Popular Science

Popular Science and InnoCentive’s Pavilion is a unique opportunity for creative problem solvers from around the globe to collaborate further encouraging open innovation and solutions in the rapidly moving science and technology industries.
