Business Innovation Factory

Overview

The Business Innovation Factory (BIF), a non-profit corporation headquartered in Providence, is dedicated to helping its private and public sector members move innovative ideas from the white board into the real world. BIF’s mission is to help members learn from the best minds in business innovation and provide opportunities to network and collaborate with organizations that are driven to explore and test new business models.

BIF provides a real-world test ground to study and prototype innovative approaches, providing proof-of-concept findings that help members:

  • Gain buy-in from executive committees, sales teams, and often skeptical customers
  • Justify the return on innovation investment
  • Speed larger scale roll-outs by understanding implementation realities

At the heart of this mission is BIF's ability to bring public and private sector partners together to focus on Collaborative Innovation Projects with transformational potential. BIF's current portfolio of projects included initiatives in areas such as healthcare, security, education, ubiquitous computing, education and customer experience innovation.

Organizations access our programs, services, and projects by becoming a member of the Business Innovation Factory. BIF members are passionate about business model innovation and share a belief that it can deliver real value. Members also have input and visibility to BIF's collaborative innovation projects. BIF Partners go beyond participating as members in the community to actively invest in and extend BIF's capabilities. In addition, partners will serve on an advisory board to review BIF's project portfolio.
