7 reasons to visit the Open Innovation Hub

The Open Innovation Hub is a place where you and Fujifilm can interact to co-create new value by combining state-of-the-art core technologies developed by Fujifilm with your needs, expertise and ideas.

At our Open Innovation Hub in Ratingen (Düsseldorf area, Germany), you get a chance to:

  • Get acquainted with Fujifilm’s business transformation and diversification
  • learn more about our core technologies that is used in a broad area of applications
  • discuss current and future health, environmental and societal challenges
  • voice your needs and opinions as a customer
  • identify new opportunities for collaboration
  • co-create new ideas
  • create or strengthen your partnership with Fujifilm.

Collaboration

At the Open Innovation Hub, the interaction with you as our potential partner marks the starting point of the innovation process. Within this stage-gate process, we will create and evaluate ideas. For the most promising idea, we will also elaborate the suitable form of collaboration. Some collaboration examples are highlighted here:

Kao had a collaboration with FUJIFILM Corporation and Technische Universität Dresden (Technical University of Dresden) to develop an innovative hair dye technology called “HD3 dye technology” at its European Research Laboratories in Darmstadt, Germany. An industry first, the technology uses a new generation of physical dye molecules that dye the hair in a completely new way and thereby deliver multi-dimensional, high-definition shine and long lasting brilliance whilst being gentle to both the hair and scalp. Fujifilm contributed to this project with its extensive expertise and knowledge in photographic dyes originally used in photographic film such as instant cameras (Instax), QuickSnap and printer ink. Fujifilm has a library of over 40,000 different types of dyes.
