OniX will engage industry in several ways:

• Industry (Pharmaceutical, Venture Capital and others): Industry will review ideas that match their research areas of interest. Industry will seek partnerships following their own policies and procedures

• Sponsors: OniX will reach out to potential sponsors to create, for example, a Sponsor Innovation Award Program. This program will fund some of the ideas submitted to the hub.

• Advertisers: OniX will allow some advertisement on the website. This will allow OniX to sustain its business model.
