Plexal’s playbook for better private sector collaboration

• Make sure there’s a societal need for a new technology – and that the market isn’t already addressing it

• Cast your net wide when looking for SME capability

• Make sure everyone has access to the value that’s created

• Pay the SME for their work

• Act quickly – an innovation sprint shouldn’t take more than 10 weeks and you shouldn’t allow contracting and procurement terms to get in the way of speed
