About

The Open 100 competition was born out of NESTA’s search for the world’s top 100 open innovation companies. Now we are opening it up to the public to find who the best open innovators really are. We have divided the open innovator market into 5 categories. With the help of our judges the Open 100 will be created out of the best 20 companies from each of the 5 categories.


With ‘The Open100’ competition we like to celebrate the power of openness and mass collaboration. You can help us celebrate the benefits of ‘Openness’ by nominating who you think should be in the list, helping the public to find who the best open innovators really are, and aid us to produce the ultimate collection of open organizations; ‘The Open100’.


‘The Open100′ is brought to you by 100% Open and powered by the UK’s National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA).
