Sony Ericsson seeks technology partners for open innovation drive

Are you an entrepreneur, developer or do you have a great idea for a technical innovation? Sony Ericsson is now seeking technology partners who can complement and inspire our own innovation.

Today, Joakim Nelson, Head of Industry Collaboration at Sony Ericsson, will speak at the Innovation Exchange event in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event is all about enabling high-tech start-ups, corporations and venture capital investors to come together to meet, network and do business.

Sony Ericsson is attending this event because we think that the future of technology is exciting, and we see a number of key areas in technology where we think break-through innovation will occur soon, when mobility expands into new areas. With that in mind we are really excited about attending this year’s event, particularly because our vision is all about enabling everyone to create and participate in unique entertainment experiences.

This means that we are always on the lookout for innovative minds and ideas, and because of this we are using the event this year to make a global call to action for all start-up companies, academia, venture capitalists, corporate investors, industry organisations, governments and established companies with new technologies to make contact! We are keen to identify partners to support the development of ideas and research right through to the creation of commercial products.

Anyone working with us can expect to tap into our knowledge and network, including:

Technical expertise
Product specification
Prototype / Demo support
First ”customer” – Volume indication
IP or IPR support linked to business
“Go to market” plan
Brand for B2B contacts
NRE for unique development or prototype
Contact/partner network (parents/operators/etc.)

Innovation is very important to us and we want to foster those who can help complement and inspire our own innovation. So, if you are a budding technology entrepreneur, developer or just have a great idea, get in touch!
