Innovate together, for organizations like yours
Consulting and custom software for organizations that want to integrate ecosystem expertise into their own processes.
Who we are
Open Innova unites strategic consulting and software development around a single idea: the best innovation emerges from collaboration between those who know the problem, those who know the context, and those who know the technology.
We work with businesses, third-sector organizations, and public administrations that want to transform their processes without having to choose between rigid off-the-shelf standards and fragile in-house builds.

What we do
Strategic consulting
We support organizations on the path toward more open operating models: stakeholder mapping, partnership design, process redesign, change management.
For whom: leadership, innovation managers, digital transformation leads.
Custom software
We design and build custom platforms, co-creating them with the teams that will use them. No generic SaaS: every solution is born out of the organization’s real processes and remains its property.
Sectors: third sector, public administration, social cooperatives, scaleups with specific needs.
The GestiSCU case
The fastest way to understand what we mean by open innovation is to look at what happens when we actually apply it.
GestiSCU is the platform that has transformed how Italy’s Servizio Civile (National Civic Service) is managed. It was not imposed on the participating entities: it was co-designed with them — public administrations, third-sector organizations, cooperatives — each bringing its own know-how and operational constraints, enriching (and still enriching) the design.
The result is software that is at the same time:
- Universal — works for every type of entity
- Robust — does not warp itself to fit overly specific dynamics
- Specific — every workflow mirrors real-world operations, not abstractions
- Secure — enterprise architecture with encryption and audit trail
- Fast — performance optimized even on unstable connections
Procedures that used to take weeks now close in minutes, with full transparency and traceability.

Why work with us
We don’t sell theory. We work with a pragmatic method that produces concrete results:
- More robust products, because they’re designed with the people who will actually use them
- Less risk, because collective know-how catches problems before they turn critical
- Faster adoption, because users who co-create don’t need to be “convinced” to use the tool
- Sustainable scalability, because a distributed ecosystem grows better than a centralized system
- More distributed value, because every actor involved benefits, not just the technology vendor
Software that works is software developed with users, not for users — GestiSCU proves it every day.
How we start working together
Depending on where you stand, we can come in three different ways:
You have a specific problem We co-design a dedicated software solution, following the collaborative model that produced GestiSCU.
You want to transform the whole organization We launch a strategic consulting path to integrate collaborative innovation into your processes.
You want to build an innovation community We design an ecosystem in which clients, partners, and employees become co-creators, not just recipients.
