connections across boundaries

IXC International

It is hardly possible to overrate the value, for the improvement of human beings, of things which bring them into contact with persons dissimilar to themselves and with modes of thought and action unlike those with which they are familiar… There is no nation which does not need to borrow from others

John Stuart Mill, British Parlimentarian (1806 – 1873)

IXC  Intermediaries are on the ground in four continents and eight countries making global connections everyday, with InnovationXchange hubs serving clients in:

The InnovationXchange process for connected innovation is growing internationally. The  IXC business model is licensed to local organisations and established along similar lines: independent, not-for-profit and commercially neutral. New IXC start ups are mentored and supported by others in the network. They receive guidance in recruitment, finance systems, business development and marketing. IXC Intermediaries are recruited locally and are linked to IXCs internationally. All IXC Clients benefit from the shared knowledge of an expanding network of IXC Intermediaries around the world.
