Proposed next steps:
You need to be the project owner to select a next step.
As the initial research provided information about the Innovation Director in charge of the Open Innovation Challenge and the most senior executive in charge of new technology in general, we recommend continued research into 2-3 trends in casings technology development being used not just by Vallourec, but by other companies in the same space.
Additionally, as our initial research indicated that the Innovation Challenge being held in 2019 is not the first one Vallourec has held, we recommend looking into the history of Vallourec's Innovations. A challenge was held in 2017 as well. What was the purpose of the challenge, who won, and what did they win?
