R&D Activ'Inside
"At Activ'Inside, innovation is a shared concern. It turns into a success when our inventions meet the expectations of our customers and final consumers. Thus, every departments of our company, from R&D, marketing, regulatory, sourcing, production, to sales unit, must be involved in a push approach (innovation resulting from internal proposals) or in a pull approach (market-driven). Our vision of innovation also takes place in strong academics and industrial partnerships as Open Innovation is in our DNA. We collaborate with around 20 universities and research institutes on three continents. As a result, we will invest 25% of our turnover in research, development, and innovation, for the next 5 years. "
