Centre for Business Innovation

“Creating Connected Communities”

CfBII Origins:

 Although based in Bangalore, we are closely linked to Cambridge which has created a state-of-the-art ecosystem of business innovation around excellent universities in the last half century

 

CfBII Offering:

We run multi-company consortia in the white spaces between sectors. We are building on the track-record of Cambridge which includes consortia on:  ‘Knowledge Management’; ‘Fuel Cells’; ‘Implications of Decoding the Genome’; ‘Smart Labels’; ‘Transportation Information Systems’, ’Valuing Intangibles’.

Through those activities we are helping to build innovative ecosystems in India, with focus on Bangalore.

From the start, we seek to connect to great ecosystems around the world, starting with Europe.

 

CfBII Focus:

Fast moving technology or business process areas where trade/ or technology associations do not exist.

 

Post research / pre-market commercial opportunities where money and intellectual property are important.

 

Initially the focus will be pre-market, which is the prime opportunity in India now, gradually moving to post research over time...

 

....and how ICT can create new business opportunities in important business sectors

 

Your Benefit from working with CfBII:

 

Save time and money while learning from/with peers you would not normally meet in a trusting confidential environment. Participants create a “Collaborative Advantage”.
