Open innovation at Boots

The Boots brand is relied on by millions of people to provide the very best advice and products for their health and wellbeing, and innovation is crucial to our customers and our business.

For over 50 years researchers and developers at Boots Technical Centre have been discovering, developing and testing to create a huge range of new products that meet the needs and expectations of consumers.

While this continues to be very successful, we look beyond internal research to partner with people whose ideas and skills complement our own. This spirit of open innovation is brought to life through Boots Centre for Innovation.

Here we work in partnership with entrepreneurs whose groundbreaking concepts offer valuable benefits to our customers. Working across time-zones and languages we welcome innovators from around the world who retain their independence whilst sharing our expertise and market reach.

We support this growing network of innovation partners with everything from consumer research and product testing to legal issues, launches and extensive distribution opportunities.

In short, we unlock the barriers that stand between good ideas and high street success.
