BONN, Germany and BOSTON, Mass. – (September 2013) HYPE Innovation, a global leader for end-to-end innovation management software, together with Evonik Industries, contributes to the idea challenge “Social Chemistry” conducted by the Association for Chemistry and Economics (VCW).

The partnership enables employees from chemical companies and students of related studies to post their ideas for social media approaches on http://social-chemistry.hypego.de/ from Sept 1-30, 2013. They can view ideas from other contributors, discuss them and post comments. The aim is to define “Social Chemistry” and develop further application scenarios and best practice examples for B2B-companies within the chemistry sector. The best ideas will be presented to top managers from the chemical industry at the VCW-conference in Frankfurt/Main on November 7.

"We are delighted to support the VCW-initiative with our on-demand innovation platform HYPE GO!", says Dr. Christian Hagemeier, Director SaaS Business at HYPE Innovation.
