Open Innovation Challenges

What is an OpenCase?

OpenCases are an easy way for companies to gain innovative, new, and exciting solutions to complex business problems.

OpenCases are designed for companies to create challenges based around real issues they are currently facing. The OpenCases module on CapSource assist companies in defining the challenge, scope, and timeline of the project.

Once set up, students from top universities will work to solve the challenge presented in the project asynchronously. Companies will receive final reports to review and give feedback.
