ABOUT THE SEEKER

Opinno is a global innovation consulting firm that transforms organizations through collaborative and sustainable methodologies. Opinno understands innovation as a process that starts by listening to people and ends with the design and prototyping of new products and services that generate an impact on society.

After years of working with the world's most innovative organizations, the three key values that support their success have been synthesized:

• An organization connected to the ecosystem, eliminating barriers to entry. Expanding the ability to capture value beyond the boundaries of one's own organization is indispensable.
• An agile organization, where cycles are shorter and uncertainty greater, reducing time from conceptualization to market.
• A customer-centric organization: the customer is more powerful than ever. The whole organization must be oriented to understand their reality and to offer them solutions adapted to their personal preferences.

In line with Opinno's Corporate Social Responsibility and to generate an impact on society through innovation, the aim is to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on citizens' lives. This is done by focusing on two areas:

• Opinno's experience in the health industry, especially in the pharmaceutical and hospital sectors;
• Opinno's ecosystem of innovation which provides access to a global knowledge network, thanks to initiatives such as Innovators Under 35 by MIT Technology Review and various corporate open innovation programs that we have been implementing for 10 years.

The objectives of this initiative are:

• To contribute to the sustainability of the national healthcare system by enhancing the value of Opinno's international innovation network and the various partners who join the initiative.
• Attract the best national and international talent that can help the healthcare system overcome some of the countries in the emergency situation.
• To bring the most impactful solutions to the different healthcare ecosystems, contributing to the improvement of the emergency situation.
