Case Study: Italgas accelerates open innovation and startup co-design with Skipso

Italgas selects 4 startups with Skipso for co-design

Italgas, Italy's leading gas distributor, launched its Ideas4Italgas Open Innovation initiative to find startups that could support the transformation of its gas networks. For the program's second year, Italgas needed a provider to manage the project digitally and offer scouting services. They turned to Skipso for its innovation management platform and advisory services.

Skipso implemented its Co-Innovation Hub to scout startups and its highly customized Innovation Platform to manage the entire process. This solution enabled Italgas to identify 180 startups, with 88 registering and 64 making submissions. Ultimately, 4 startups were selected for a Co-Design phase to develop proofs of concept. Skipso's platform simplified the user journey and centralized data management, allowing Italgas to find new strategic solutions to drive the industry's energy transformation in a short amount of time.
