At the end of 2006, Nestlé adopted the ‘Open Innovation’ model for accelerating the research process. In addition to our own important endeavours in science and research, Nestlé recognised that universities, academia, small start-ups, biotech companies and large industrial suppliers are important sources of innovation. Together, these investments open the doors to promising innovations and bring partners on board when a business case exists.
