In 2010, Maven Research arranged a partnership with Business Connect China (BCC). The ambition was for Maven’s primarily US-based clients to access BCC’s expert network.

Beyond standard expert calls and consulting projects, Maven has expanded its platform to include OpenITM (Internal Talent Marketplace) - a white-label tool letting corporations build their own private, searchable expert networks internally.
