How it works

The AIR Innovation Process

We use a proven process to break down challenges, validate potential approaches, evaluate solution providers and identify promising solutions in a controlled environment.

Prioritize & Research  

A strategic conversation in which we prioritise challenge areas. This can be supported by market research to provide a 360 degree view on opportunities in the innovation market.

Define the Challenge

During a Challenge Shaping Workshop, we help you to identify the most pressing innovation challenge. We agree on success criteria, PoC environement, showstoppers and stakeholders to involve.

Scout the Solutions

We help you find the best solution from the globe to submit a pitch on your challenge. Iteratively, we narrow down our innovation funnel for you to select the preferred partner of the PoC process.

Collaboration Shaping

You select the best solution for you challenge and you co-create the goals, terms, budget and roadmap for a Proof of Concept process.

Build a Proof of Concept

You work with the selected innovation to create a PoC roadmap at the agreed conditions. Schiphol staff and TNW's open innovation specialists will support the roadmap with regular check-ins, support and mentorship.
