Cross Innovation Hub
What ideas are changing the world? We are the Cross Innovation Hub - drivers for a sustainable economy. We make innovation processes for companies and organizations. Shape the future with us!
Cross Innovation Hub
We cross business with creativity
Increasing complexity, uncertainty, major challenges and crises demand new approaches to innovation management: cross innovation with creatives. That's what new-generation innovation processes need - cross-industry collaboration and creative input.
From the idea to market maturity
We bring companies and visionary creatives together. In processes designed by us, they develop innovative solutions - from idea generation to market maturity. The range of results is wide: from product innovations to new processes and services to business model innovations.
You want to support us as a creative expert?
Those who work creatively bring the potential to create something new and meaningful. That's what you can bring to us: Your view of problems and innovative ideas that drive companies and organizations forward.
Want to keep your business innovative?
As an entrepreneur, are you facing urgent challenges or do you need a fresh view from the outside? We design innovation processes for companies of all sizes and from all industries. You get ideas that have never been thought of before and benefit from our network of creative minds.
