No one can deny the benefits that accrue from collaboration. EarlyBirds -- an Australian innovation ecosystem -- recently released a blog highlighting the importance of technological collaboration in the modern-day business world. The global platform is of the view that "combined knowledge, resources, and expertise” can pave the way for higher productivity and better efficiency. Collaboration facilitates quick adoption of innovation, EarlyBirds asserts.

EarlyBirds -- an open platform with numerous service components including the Explorer and Challenger programs, and dynamic innovation maps -- is a popular intermediary that enables global technology collaboration, thanks to millions of technology innovators on its platform. Let us know more.

Need for technology collaboration

Even though the term ‘collaboration’ is quite popular and viewed as a big positive force in the short to long term sustainability of any business, it has become even more critical today, thanks to the fast modernisation of technology. The democratisation of innovation, which has removed all boundaries and put ideas first, can help businesses to achieve more by collaborating than they could by working alone.

Here, on one hand is any business or a government entity, while on the other hand are innovators that are eager to showcase their tech solutions, which come with the potential to facilitate fast and inexpensive adoption of new tech trends like artificial intelligence (AI). With the use of combined knowledge, resources and expertise, any combination comprising a tech adopting business and an innovator can produce enhanced efficiency and productivity, says EarlyBirds.

EarlyBirds and collaboration

The company, which operates an open innovation platform where innovators, SMEs (subject matter expert), and early adopter businesses can find one another and join forces, has cited the example of business disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. These disruptions had to be addressed and there was no better way than to join forces so that a business could meet new challenges and also work with innovators to introduce and implement the required tech-related changes within the organisation.

EarlyBirds says that it the potential to be the collaborating force between multiple stakeholders that include private businesses and governments, innovators (startups or mature), and subject matter experts. The platform has two unique programs -- Challenger and Explorer -- to address various tech challenges, besides having dynamic innovation maps across sectors.
