The discussion

Three themes, eight questions

01

Progress

What has already changed in how open innovation runs?

  • Where has AI already shortened a step in your R&D or innovation workflow, and what evidence supports it?
  • Which parts of open innovation have moved most in the last two years: scouting, expert sourcing, partner evaluation or deal support?

02

Promise

Where AI, automation and robotics could take R&D and innovation.

  • How much faster can R&D run when AI, automation and robotics handle screening, experiments and analysis?
  • Which capabilities will large companies source from outside rather than build, and how will they find the right partners?

03

Practical Realities

What it takes to put AI to work inside an organisation.

  • How do you judge, at an early stage, which AI tools and technologies merit investment as the field keeps changing?
  • How do you translate a promising tool into an engineering workflow your teams adopt?
  • How do you share R&D data and IP with outside experts and vendors under the right confidentiality?
  • A table of senior R&D peers working on the same AI decisions
  • yet2's view from scouting and expert projects across 70 global clients
  • Time with the yet2 team to discuss your own R&D and AI questions
  • Expert roundtables on a specific AI or R&D problem
  • Topic Specific Scouting in 1 to 4 months
  • EZ Button quick-turn scouting with first results in 5 days
  • Intro2Deal from introduction through to deal
