Open Innovation has become an indispensable tool for business growth as it gets organisations better innovations, faster and cheaper, compared to traditional closed methods.

The pace of innovation is at an unprecedented rate, frequently faster than the internal development that organisations can generate.  Open Innovation is the way to leverage global talent and technology to take your organisation to the next level, with proven return on investment many times greater than innovating on your own. 
​
The key to this is: identifying the perfect collaborator, which is easier than you think!

​The KL Union is an extension of  100%Open’s global network of over 2,000 innovation and marketing professionals in large organisations. The Union exists for the sole purpose of creating value by connecting contacts across every sector of industry, enabling members to quickly source innovative technologies or new partners. Previously hosted in London and in Geneva, it is now been brought to Malaysia through partner organisations.

This 5th of September, join us to hear first-hand how 100%Open has helped over 100 organisations achieve effective and efficient innovation with external partners.  As one recent client in the pharma sector recently said "The 100%Open external expert community that was built for the project was 2.6x cheaper than the internal R&D group with savings of $13.5m in the first 6 months”.

At the KL Union you will also get the exclusive insights into Asia's first Digital Innovation Platform and hear opportunities from business giants and SMEs for collaboration.

Open Innovation provides many sources of value in addition to accelerating R&D: 
  • Growth through better insight, innovation and design.
  • Growth through expanded mindsets and processes.
  • Growth through a better reputation.
Come to the first KL Union to find out how!

David Simoes-Brown

CEO,
100%Open, UK

Recovering ad-man and ex-punk rocker David is Co-Founder and CEO. When not creating new open strategies for clients, inventing new open innovation tools or making sure 100%Open is 100% ahead of the curve he consistently fails to write a book on human emotions. Other so-called hobbies that get little attention are flying remote control planes, restoring old cars and making sourdough.
