How Open Source is Leading Open Innovation at Scale
summary
Shell explains how open innovation addresses capital, capability and execution gaps by running inbound programs like Future Pitch and hackathons, managing an internal community of ~600 academics and ~100,000 employees, and spinning out work (one AI model reused by the cement industry). Two concrete open projects are realtime data injection platform and Python emission localization and quantification (PIL), both released under Apache v2, used in-house and with partners and stewarded via the Linux Foundation to broaden maintenance and governance.
