Catch&Do
We are now opening the path to collaboration with corporates. We build up their appetite for open innovation, stimulate ecosystem collaborations and engage them to meet and invest in promising start-ups.
We are structuring an open innovation ecosystem to accelerate innovation adoption by demonstrating market opportunities, promoting companies offering differentiation and attractive value proposition and encouraging collaborations.
To enter in collaboration with leaders in their field
BLUMORPHO helped us as collaboration partner to identify and to select 15 outstanding companies out of over 140 applications to our action. This of course was only possible by utilizing their great industry network and a BLUMORPHO team which supported us to perfectly organize and execute. Following this action, we have closed investment round in Syntiant, and Zapata Computing, 2 companies selected through this process.

Thanks to the collaboration with BLUMORPHO we have been able to create inside Pfeiffer Vacuum a small start-up to promote a new business model. BLUMORPHO helped us to allocate the right roles among the team members involved. They also assisted us in the elaboration of a new value proposition that we have already tested with large customers. We are now in a larger implementation phase for 2021. I really recommend the Start-up Mode approach by BLUMORPHO.

We work with them to open new ecosystems outside of our existing networks. Thanks to BLUMORPHO we got in contact with strategically best in class start-ups in Quantum Computing, Blockchain, AI and Cybersecurity. By now, we closed an investment in Cyr3con and have started several collaborations with start-ups that attended the TRUMPF Venture Forums.
