Concept of open innovation

FIBARO acquires innovative technological projects in the open innovation model. The idea of open innovation was born in the 1960s at the University of California in Berkley. According to this concept, enterprises should acquire knowledge and innovations in cooperation with external entities, and not only through the work of their own research and development departments. Such a model gives tech companies a much better chance of success in implementing innovations than in the case of relying solely on their own resources. Practice of this kind is used by the majority of mature players from the technological market, who base their activity mainly on the innovativeness of their products and solutions.

At FIBARO, the concept of open innovation is implemented through its subsidiary, Fibar Group Intellectual Property Assets Sp. z o.o. whose task is to manage the intellectual property developed by FIBARO, as well as to obtain innovative solutions from the IoT sector in various models of cooperation.
