Collaboration-HQ is an open source platform that allows industries, companies, individuals, academia, researchers, investors to collaborate within a single portal across multiple industries to find solutions to challenges and problems. An open environment to exhibit and accelerate innovation and invention to the world as well as the potential for collaboration, funding sources and investors to be engaged.The portal itself has two distinct zones one for innovation collaboration and the second for resource collaboration although they may overlap depending on the type of project. All members can access both zones to be involved where their talents and service can be best utilised. The innovation collaboration zone allows for ideas, problems or inventions to be posted so the collaboration may begin with finding a solution, developing that idea or finding a market or investor for the invention. The resource collaboration zone is a lot broader and allows for the collaboration relating to projects, facilities, manufacture & testing, data, technology, resources and assets. By listing the member's products, services and assets in the resource collaboration zone, other entities can see what is available within their projects region to reduce operating costs, duplication of assets and utilising local resources.
