At Innopearl, we help global organizations turn big challenges into scalable solutions.
Our innovation management platform connects open innovation, corporate venturing, R&D, supply chain, retail and marketing teams to accelerate problem-solving, streamline collaboration across teams, and future-proof partnering-based solutions.
We believe innovation shouldn’t be slow or siloed. It should be simple: problem, solution, alignment, execution.
Innopearl was founded by Olga Guerous, a corporate innovator with over two decades of experience in partnership development and transformation.
After seeing too many promising innovations fail due to outdated practices and siloed data, she created Innopearl to provide organizations with a smart model and tools that drive speed, efficiency, and strategic impact.
Who We Are
We’re a team of innovative problem-solvers who’ve sat on both sides of the table — inside Fortune 500 corporations and at startups. That’s why we built a platform that bridges the gap.
Fast: Solutions in weeks, not months
Precise: Tailored scouting and targeted matches
Proven: ROI that speaks for itself, with pricing starting at only 4900 EUR for an initial pilot
“This isn’t just another scouting platform — it’s a catalyst that connects people, solutions, and results.” — Global Innovation Director
How We Create Impact
We partner with teams across key verticals – consumer goods including food products, health and wellness and luxury goods, to deliver measurable outcomes.
Our platform supports open innovation initiatives in food, open innovation in consumer health, open innovation in FMCG, open innovation in luxury, open innovation for sustainability, R&D Open Innovation, innovation partnerships — expanding open innovation into core consumer industries.
We work across all disciplines but here are a few case studies highlighting how we work with key functions and projects to build meaningful results: supply chain, ingredient innovation, cross-team collaboration, marketing innovation.
Ingredient Innovation
Today’s consumers want clean labels, plant-based options, and sustainable products. We connect R&D teams with foodtech startups pioneering ingredient innovation — from clean-label alternatives to plant-based ingredients and sustainable sourcing solutions.
Case Study:
A dairy brand seeking dairy protein alternatives discovered a startup developing microbial-based proteins. This innovation enabled the creation of new products for sustainability-conscious consumers, maintaining taste and texture while ensuring a reliable, sustainable supply chain.
We helped the company establish a systematic innovation partnering approach, effectively integrating new ingredient solutions into their product pipeline.
“We found a solution that aligns with our business challenge — fast, scalable, and ready for market testing.” – Head of R&D
Supply Chain Innovation
When supply chains is outdated, growth slows down. We help operations leaders drive supply chain innovation by discovering logistics automation, AI in supply chain, and digital transformation solutions that reduce costs and build resilient, future-proof supply chains.
Case Study:
A global food & beverage leader is partnering through our platform to test automation for truck loading. Solutions cut loading time from 6–8 hours to under 3, with fewer operators needed. Through our AI powered startup scouting platform, the company can quickly identify logistics and automation innovators for optimal AI-matchmaking.
“Thanks to this collaboration, we’ve a clear path showing how we can future-proof one of our most critical operations.” — VP Supply Chain
Cross-Team Collaboration
Innovation often stalls because its success often depends on executive buy-in. Our collaboration platform helps cross-functional teams consolidate strategic projects across geographies, reduce duplication, and strengthen innovation collaboration through better alignment cross functionally and with executives.
Case Study:
A consumer goods company aligned its global category hubs on our collaboration platform. Our approach integrates an innovation governance model, ensuring cross-functional teams work with alignment and accountability and drive innovation operating model clarity.
Duplicate projects dropped by 40%, freeing budget and focus for new initiatives.
“For the first time, our teams across three continents could see — and build on — each other’s work.” — Innovation Manager
Faster Scouting
Scouting often slows down when information is fragmented. Too many teams keep their own contact lists, formats differ, and data quickly becomes outdated. Innopearl creates a single, dynamic dataset where all scouting activity lives — consistent, searchable, and ready to guide smarter decisions.
Case Study:
A consumer goods company adopted Innopearl to consolidate its partner and startup pipeline. Instead of scattered spreadsheets and siloed outreach, all the data was consolidated into one living dataset. This made it easy to spot solutions for business challenges, evaluate potential partners objectively, and move from identification to pilot with greater speed and confidence.
“We finally had one system of record for innovation partners — it cut the noise and gave us clarity on which opportunities really mattered.” — Program Manager for Open Innovation Scouting
“Thanks to this collaboration, we’ve a clear path showing how we can future-proof one of our most critical operations.” — VP Supply Chain
Marketing Workflow Automation
Marketing teams are under constant pressure to do more with less. Manual processes, scattered tools, and repetitive admin work slow down campaign execution and eat into creative time.
Innopearl helps teams identify and adopt the right AI marketing tools and workflow automation — streamlining processes, boosting productivity, and proving ROI.
Case Study:
A beauty brand turned to Innopearl to consolidate its search for next-gen marketing technology. By scouting and adopting AI-driven creative tools through our platform, the brand cut campaign asset production time by 40%. With workflows automated and ROI tracked, the marketing team could finally focus resources on strategy and innovation instead of admin.
“The tools we sourced freed our team from repetitive tasks — we can finally focus on creative strategy instead of admin.” — Marketing Operations Lead
