InnovationForce, the world’s first AI-powered Ecosystem Relationship Management (ERM) platform for innovation, today announced at Enlit Europe that the InnovationWorks Hangar is available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure. To mark the occasion, InnovationForce added over 100 new European-based use cases (“test flights”) from sources such as the UK’s National Infrastructure Commission’s Second National Infrastructure Assessment and Microsoft partners into The Hangar. Enabling ecosystem collaboration around these ideas will help the industry achieve decarbonization and grid modernization goals faster.
