FAQ

When you submit an idea through this Portal, you will be asked to complete an “Open Innovation Submission Form” including your contact details, a non-confidential overview of your solution and your agreement to the Terms and Conditions of submission and the Privacy Notice. Truevet will review your details and evaluate the solution within the portal.

Throughout the submission process, we ask for only information that imposes no obligations of confidentiality for Truevet and does not breach any confidentiality obligations that you as the submitter owe to others. If confidential information is later required, we may negotiate a separate Confidential Disclosure Agreement prior to sharing or receipt of any confidential information.
