i-Innovate enables corporations to "connect" with organizations, Industry experts, consultants product and service providers in the corporate C-Suite innovation space. Members add their Match Criteria based on “needs, wants, interests, or products/services” they want to sell or promote in the Innovation space.
Machine matches and member submissions are automatically provided to members through their Innovation Match Market back-office dashboard. Members can file matches and/or disseminate Machine Matches and submissions to other members.
API's enable i-Lab members to have profiles on Brite Idea Lab or i-Innovate to create colleagues and disseminate Matches and submissions to members on linked platforms. Standard API’s are used to facilitate common sign-on for all match portals, as well as eliminate redundant data entry.
