What is the Blue Ocean Strategy and how does its innovation unlock new markets and business opportunities?

In BEAGLE, Blue Ocean Strategy facilitates the creation of new markets and value chains in areas that are currently untapped, creating opportunities for profitable and sustained long-term growth. We enhance collaboration among actors (academia-industry) that do not know each other and who would never meet without BEAGLE: connecting companies with technological centres and universities that are geographically and sectorally distant, without asking specific questions, looking for precisely what they know that they do not know.

This approach creates value through disruptive innovation rather than incremental improvements. Companies usually turn to the closest knowledge centres to resolve issues that allow them to continue competing in Red Oceans. BEAGLE proposes that companies innovate disruptively by promoting their collaboration with research institutions outside their usual sector and geography, looking for new Blue Oceans, creating entirely new products, services, and business opportunities with no or very low competition at the beginning of their market launch.
