Onova | About Us

onova [o·no·va] noun /ōnovə/

Derived from the words "open innovation" and "supernova". Open innovation accelerates corporate innovation by leveraging knowledge from both internal and external sources. It breaks organizational boundaries, inviting ideas from employees, customers, suppliers, competitors, and universities to drive impactful change. A supernova, a stellar explosion birthing brilliant light and new stars, mirrors our work: helping clients uncover brilliant ideas and transform them into market-ready products and services.

How It All Started

From their first conversation, they realized their unique synergy and drive to create something bigger than themselves. It wasn’t just about winning hackathons or building prototypes — it was about exploring the art of collaboration, unlocking human potential, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
