Open innovation

No organization has, on its own, everything it needs.

Open innovation allows the capabilities of some to solve the limitations of others.

A company may know its industry in depth, but it does not necessarily master artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, automation, data science, sustainability, regulation, design and commercialization.

A university may generate extraordinary knowledge, but it does not always have access to operational problems, users, data or markets.

A startup may have an innovative solution, but lack customers, infrastructure, credibility or channels for scaling.

Government may have policies, data and convening power, but it needs agile mechanisms to experiment with and validate solutions.

Society knows the everyday problems, but often takes part too late in the design of solutions.


Open innovation allows the capabilities of some to solve the limitations of others.

Quadruple and quintuple helix

Five perspectives. One system.

The quadruple helix connects business, academia, government and society. The quintuple helix incorporates the environment, not as one more topic, but as the condition within which development is viable.

About the initiative

Why CANIETI can orchestrate this.

CANIETI represents the electronics, telecommunications and information technology industry in Mexico. That position allows it to talk with industry and with government, with corporations and with MSMEs, with universities and with startups, without belonging exclusively to any of those groups.

That neutrality is precisely what makes the role of trusted third party possible: convening without competing, translating without imposing, and documenting without favoring.

Platform status. This is the first version. It presents the model and enables the registration of challenges and capabilities. Each initiative shows its actual status, and none is presented as an operating program if it is not yet one.
