Partner with Trident to put our Virtual Innovation Officer Program to work for you
Do you have an adequate system to attract
and develop your next successful product?
Every company needs new innovations in order to stay
ahead of the competition and continue to delight their
markets. Some ideas can be generated internally, but
many of the best ideas could come from your customers
or outside inventors.
Most companies do not have an established process to
attract new innovations or manage the flow of ideas and
relationships with outside inventors.
How about you? Are you winging it? Or taking whatever
falls in your lap?
Imagine a predictable pipeline of innovation and never having to worry about where the next good ideas will come from, without having to hire and manage an internal team ($). Imagine someone managing the entire process for you, so you can focus on your business.
That’s where Trident’s Virtual Innovation Officer Program comes in. We automate the process of finding new, successful products and manage their path to commercialization.
BUILD A THRIVING INNOVATION ECOSYTEM
Trident’s VIO Program Empowers You To...
Scale the number of viable submissions you receive
Our channels and processes generate more submissions than you are receiving organically. We reach out to the specific inventors that design the kinds of products you specialize in. Through both our internal and external channels, we can grow the amount of ideas you can say ‘yes’ to.
Take product hunting off
your plate
Our system frees you up to concentrate on the many other challenging facets of running your business. Rather than hiring and managing an internal team, we handle everything for you at a fraction of the cost.
We manage the inventor relationships for you
We create a single point of contact so the communication process is streamlined and handled for you.
How the VIO Program Works
GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SUCCEED AS PART OF A COMPLETE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
Consulting
Turn to us for expert perspectives on anything you would count on a full-time, employed Innovation Officer for. We can advise you on design, manufacturing, IP, licensing, and more. We will have regularly scheduled calls to review and drive all programs.
Innovation Challenges
The centerpiece of our program is a multifaceted campaign called the Innovation Challenges, custom marketing programs to drive the innovations you are seeking. We do this through outreach to our internal community of professional inventors as well as paid marketing & advertising campaigns to key channels where other professionals hang out.
Innovation Pipeline Management
We create a submission link on your website to allow for direct submissions that
may happen through organic traffic to your website as well as traffic generated by our campaigns. Submissions are captured and managed through our proprietary innovation database called, the ThinkBank, where you will have your own portal.
Exclusive Category Rights
With the VIO Program, you get the right of first refusal of all products in your categories that are submitted through our Innovation Ecosystem, which attracts submissions year round.
