AutoHarvest Foundation, a 501(C)3 nonprofit, created and operates a unique innovation ecosystem led by some of the most highly respected figures in the automotive and manufacturing industries. In 2012, AutoHarvest.org was launched as the world’s only truly neutral and global on-line meeting place for innovators of all types with an interest in advanced manufacturing innovation. This community allows users of all types to showcase capabilities, technologies and needs system-wide and then privately connect with fellow inventors and commercializers to explore technology and business development opportunities of mutual interest. The AutoHarvest interest group consists of over 400 prominent R&D and manufacturing organizations from industry, government and academia. In 2016 AutoHarvest was recognized by Accenture’s new website and report “Digital Shoring for Networked Innovation” as a pioneer in open innovation virtual ecosystems. Partnered with the Licensing Executives Society, the US Patent and Trademark Office and multiple federal agencies, AutoHarvest provides universal access across the innovation value chain – from grassroots entrepreneurs to corporate titans. AutoHarvest is part of the Detroit Regional Innovation Network. For more information visit:
