COSI Overview

The challenges of our time are becoming more complex and interconnected. This is why it is becoming increasingly hard for one organization alone to develop sustainable solutions. Open Social Innovation describes the opening of your innovation process to the outside world. External partners such as stakeholders, universities, research institutes, suppliers or start-ups are involved in the process of developing new ideas, products and services.    

COSI is the competence center for Open Social Innovation, co-developing and implementing sustainable solutions to societal challenges. Partners we work with include SAP, Microsoft, Volkswagen, Audi, Mannheim Business School, Harvard University and the European Commission.
