ABOUT US
Opinno is a global innovation consultancy firm founded in Silicon Valley in 2008. Our mission is to deliver impact through innovation.
What we do
We are the meeting point for innovation, transformation, and technology. Our service model helps our clients to monitor and understand the market, to transform the organization to better adapt to an ever-changing world and become an entrepreneurial organization.
- Open Innovation. Understanding the market is the starting point for innovation. Our open innovation group provides our clients with market intelligence, helps create innovation ecosystems and collaborates with the startup ecosystem.
- Transformation. We help transform organizations, building an innovative vision of the future, adapting the culture to the new rules of the digital economy game and reinventing processes and ways of working to help our clients become agile, more entrepreneurial, and closer to their customers.
- Venture Building. The biggest challenge for organizations is to adapt their value proposition to a changing world. We support our clients by designing and building new products, prototypes, or even entire businesses.
Opinno has a technology division that supports our projects and helps us to roll out new products, services, and complete platforms at speed.
- Technology Solutions. Opinno's Technology Solutions team is our engineering branch. From here, we design architectures, deploy new platforms and tools such as AWS, Salesforce, Microsoft, or Workday.
How we do it
Consulting is a very old business, with a very rigid model of operation. The digital economy and the web3 movement are creating the basis for a new economy of creators. At Opinno we have developed a model that we call hybrid consulting that unites the traditional model with the most revolutionary vision of collaborative platforms.
Our projects are always led by a project manager who is 100% dedicated to Opinno. Our project managers also go through a certification process, which we call Opinno Way, which ensures that they all meet the same levels of quality and compliance and that they are proficient with our proprietary tools such as information and data banks, collaboration tools and can make the most of our network and strategic alliances.
Our great strength is in the back end of our projects. Thanks to our community structure, Opinno has thousands of experts around the world, specialized in different sector areas and technologies. This network makes us tremendously capable of scaling and at the same time able to build specialized teams for any customer challenge.
Why we do it
At Opinno, we keep our mission in mind in everything we do. We are driven to have a positive impact on our clients, and on the world at large. We have developed our own vision of what impact means to us, an impact estimation model that we use to make strategic decisions and to evaluate our work for clients, before and after each project.
Opinno is also a company guided by culture and values. Our values represent who we are and how we behave.

About Opinno.org
At Opinno, we generate impact through innovation and being part of this community certifies our social and environmental commitments, the absence of a wage gap, parity in all our positions and governance policies that maximize our ecosystem's value. In addition, to be a BCorp means joining an active community of people and companies committed to sharing best practices, lessons learned and business and business transformation opportunities. Opinno.orgTo generate and share knowledge. One of the greatest contributions Opinno can make is to share our experience. We develop hundreds of innovation projects in all industry sectors across the world every year. This helps us to identify trends, opportunities, or threats that we like to share openly with our ecosystem. These findings could help an entrepreneur define their next venture, or a government in designing policies and programs that promote development through science, technology, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Our knowledge exchange and dissemination activity is carried out through the Opinno Research Institute, a non-profit initiative that publishes Insights, a set of research articles, interviews with world leaders and produces reports and studies autonomously and also in collaboration with the world's leading business schools, universities and think tanks. To scout and support disruptive talent. At Opinno we believe that talent is the main tool for progress. Although all human beings are born with a similar intellectual capacity, at Opinno we believe that there are some special people. The technologies and scientific breakthroughs on which the current and future society is based rest on the shoulders of very few innovators and scientists, who discovered the vaccines that cure us, the electronic tools we use every day or the vehicles that transport us. Our mission is to help find that "special talent" and foster its development, so that it has the best possible impact. At Opinno, we channel this line of work through two collaborations; MIT Innovators Under 35 and Fundación Celera. The first is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology award for the most disruptive scientific-entrepreneurial talent, which creates new technologies and launches them to the market, usually helping to solve difficult problems and impacting millions of people. The second is a talent accelerator that annually seeks out and supports 10 young people with very diverse profiles. To help governments and institutions to use innovation as a catalyst for development. We believe that one of the best ways to create a better world for everyone is to help governments and institutions to better understand the challenges and opportunities that science, innovation, and entrepreneurship offer us. Through this approach we help to establish a dialogue between the business, education, scientific and entrepreneurial sectors, and public institutions to help create initiatives, programs and policies that foster scientific production, the creation and use of new technologies and the promotion of entrepreneurial talent. Our main activity in this area is called Genewin, which is a forum for sectorial debate, where the main agents of each industry come together to share and translate into a methodical analysis of their challenges and opportunities. These analyses are shared with the public administration and often serve to define public sector initiatives to support the different sectors of the economy. Opinno is in the process of becoming B Corp certified and has been a member of the 1% Pledge movement since 2018. Opinno Impact ModelAt Opinno we have created and used this model to evaluate our strategic initiatives, but also to measure how our work on each project generates positive impact for all stakeholders involved.
