What is it?

It is two things

i) An easy to use tool to help you organise your innovation needs and intellectual property

ii) An access point to the global multi-sector IXC team and their network of companies who believe in collaboration as a way to accelerate innovation

Networking evolved. It is a tailored version of our knowledge management tool - which we refer to as the Vault - and is the same tool that we use to run our global network of contacts, technologies and connections.

Simple, flexible, powerful. With the potential to access your internal & our external networks, “ViVa” gives you a private domain where you can record and manage your innovation requirements and provides a confidential point of access to the IXC global network of Innovation Intermediaries.

Cloud-based, but thoroughly grounded. Technically, it has evolved from its early days as a bespoke database with its own VPN gateway, to today’s flexible cloud-based system using proven security protocols that can be configured directly to your needs.

Access our community of potential collaborators. Our Vault is a rich, connected collection of information and organisations who endorse the concept of collaborative innovation. Every organisation in it has been scrutinised by our intermediaries looking for connections for our clients.

Most of all, It is a proven system designed to help you improve your ability to keep track and manage the issues, innovation assets and technology development needs across your organisation.
