About Us

The InnovationXchange (IXC) is a commercially neutral, not-for-profit, global knowledge exchange which delivers the ground breaking IXC Intermediary Service to business and research - a new way to find the connections you need.

With the advent of the internet and the free flow of people and ideas around the globe, Intellectual Property (IP) management is a central aspect of the innovation process. The idea of IP has allowed the creation of entire new industries and made possible enormous advances in science and technology. But IP laws can also be a barrier to collaborating or doing business. This is especially so when large and small players try to work together.

The IXC Intermediary Service overcomes these barriers. Using a network of creative, highly skilled and articulate scientists and technologists operating under a strict code of ethics and confidentiality, IXC is able to provide safe access to the ideas and connections that fit your business strategy. Our proprietary step-wise disclosure process allows you to safely approach any potential partner, large or small, while retaining full control over what information you reveal - and when.

IXC also facilitates high level, non-confidential connections through Leadership Dinners, Blue Sky Forums and the Visiting International Fellows Program.
