The continuous growth of the digital economy is redefining the way innovative companies are collaborating with external partners. We analyze the case of the technology driven companies which are at the forefront of this evolution that impact both the inbound phase of the collaborative innovation, to get new ideas, knowledge as well as technology, and the outbound phase of commercialization and adoption of innovative products and services.
