Nokia Open Innovation Challenge 2018

We create the technology to connect the world

About the program

The Nokia Open Innovation Challenge, in partnership with NGP Capital, is looking for new innovative products and solutions within the Industrial IoT domain. It is time to submit your greatest ideas for technology and business models which could change the world. Together with Nokia Bell Labs experts and mentors, you can make a difference and potentially grow your business to new levels.

Whom we are looking for

We are once again looking for the latest innovative companies around the globe to put forward their ideas for the possibility to collaborate with Nokia Bell Labs researchers to enhance or create the first commercial implementation of their product.

Our target is to find a company which could potentially be a partner for Nokia for joint innovative solutions. The journey from an early stage product to a mass market one is usually a long one but let’s give it go. After all, with Nokia’s resources and experience you might have a global business in your hands. So let’s collaborate!
