Innovation Seekers


Is your company an Innovation Seeker? That is the term we apply to companies who want to aggressively and quickly solve company problems in many disciplines using expertise from around the world to augment the work being done in your company.

If you and your company are Innovation Seekers, NineSigma is crucial to your company amplifying internal resources and capabilities by easily tapping NineSigma’s global network of innovators for new solutions, technologies, products and services. Open Innovation helps any CTO, Chief Scientist, R&D manager, business unit leader or other innovation leader who has responsibility for bringing new ideas into the organization and significantly accelerating business growth.

How does NineSigma do this?

Once a company identifies a problem it would like to quickly solve, NineSigma Program Managers work with your subject matter experts to create a Request for Proposal (RFP). We use 6 years experience to:

  • Help you create a clear, concise, and compelling statement of need.

  • Send that request to a wide ranging group of innovators using our web-based proprietary technology and custom research we do for each RFP

  • Act as the intermediary between the thousands of service providers to see the request and the dozens that are asking questions and fashioning a response.

  • Manage the response process, and in about 4 weeks, receive, summarize and present the results to you in an organized manner.

Why does this work?

    Science, education and innovation are exploding around the world. For 6 years, NineSigma has been solely focused on identifying nodes of expertise, in all disciplines and technologies, around the world. Many of these innovators want their solution to be commercially developed with market leading companies. NineSigma uses our M:X Exchange capability to connect your problem and commercially promising innovation for the benefit of both parties.

      How is NineSigma Compensated?

        NineSigma is compensated by the client based on a shared risk model. We are rewarded by helping the client make connections that result in transactions that solve client problems.

        Let’s work together!

        We do not develop any technology, make any product, refine any manufacturing process or compete with you in anyway. We make your company faster and better by using our advanced exchange capability to quickly and easily connect you with the talents and capabilities of a global pool of today’s most prepared minds. Let us help you solve a problem!
