Solver brokerage as an open innovation tool for industrial transfer of mathematical technologies

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Mathematical Technologies are recognised as a key enabling factor for innovation and competitiveness in the Industry and a powerful tool for addressing the many challenges of an increasingly digitised world. There appears to be a lack of studies about the effectiveness of Open Innovation mechanisms in pursuing an actionable approach in the Mathematical Technologies transfer. We fill this gap by exploring the use of Solver Brokerage as a tool for the industrial transfer of Mathematical Technologies through a single case study. We also critically discuss the weaknesses and strengths of this approach, sharing valuable contributions for both scholars and practitioners.
