Case Study: Bayer Crop Science expands its innovation network 10x with Halo

Bayer Crop Science expands Grants4Ag 10x in 3 months with Halo

Bayer Crop Science, one of the world's leading innovators in crop science, needed a more effective way to manage its Grants4Ag open innovation program. Its previous system lacked critical functionality for tracking proposals and collaborating with applicants, which were submitted via email in various formats. Bayer turned to Halo for its proposal management software to streamline this process and achieve its broader vision of expanding its network of global researchers.

Halo implemented its platform to manage the entire proposal process and worked in partnership with Bayer to amplify the program's reach through a press release, social media, and global webinars. This resulted in Bayer receiving 613 proposals from 39 countries, an 8x increase from the previous year, and funding 24 projects. Using Halo allowed Bayer to connect with hundreds of new scientists and build a deeper talent pool for future collaborations.
