Open Innovation
To address technological changes and the challenges of performance and sustainability, Daher deploys an open innovation approach built around five pillars: #explore, #connect, #test, #scale and #communicate.
Its purpose is to harness collective intelligence to tackle the challenges facing industry and support its transformation.
By exploring, connecting, testing and scaling the most promising ideas, Daher accelerates the development of innovative solutions that enhance customer performance while reducing the environmental footprint of its activities.
Five axes to innovate
#Explore
Monitoring new and emerging trends in our own industry and beyond
The Imagineering team will identify emerging trends and analyze their potential impact on the aerospace industry by conducting studies and foresight surveys across a broad spectrum of sectors, including luxury goods, cosmetics, sport and automotive.
#Connect
Creating more synergies between industry players
Encouraging and facilitating internal and external synergies and business collaborations are key goals of this new program. The creation of an Imagineers community open to all will be made possible by upscaling the open innovation team which, historically based in Paris, will now have a presence in all Daher regional tech centers and international operating sites.
#Test
Growing together
Proof of Concept (PoC) comes with its own limitations. Future collaborations must go beyond this stage to include prototyping, Minimum Viable Product (MVP) programs, pilot projects, etc. – depending on the degree of solution maturity and the ability of Daher and its market to incorporate them.
#Scale
Accelerating rollouts
Upon the successful completion of test phases, Imagineering will focus on accelerating the rollout of solutions through strategic alliances in the form of partnerships, venture capital injection or corporate venture building.
#Communicate
Making our careers more attractive
Imagineering also will work to make our industry more attractive to talented potential employees by highlighting the close links between innovation and manufacturing, and the large and rich diversity of career opportunities. Imagineering will implement an inspirational communications strategy with an editorial line that targets today’s new generations by showcasing the many fascinating projects and players at work in our ecosystems.
