I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells exist on the tops of mountains along with imprints of plants usually found in the sea. Why thunder lasts longer than that what causes it. How circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone. And how a bird suspends itself in the air. Questions like these engaged my thoughts througout my life. — Leonardo da Vinci

Open Innovation: Developing the Interface

Publish date: 2010-06-21

Most of the smartest people in the world are outside your company, open innovation supported by HIP Europe.

As the smartest people in the world are outside your company it is required to develop an interface for getting ideas and intelligence from the outside in. During the introduction of Prof. Dr. Wim Vanhaverbeke at the last expert network meeting, Wim provided examples of open innovation as well as pitfalls. HIP Europe could provide a valuable addition to companies trying to tap into external knowledge networks and resources. With the current breadth of industries and knowledge domains in the network, HIP already offers highly valuable industry expertise. Companies who want to develop their so called Open Innovation interface find a wealth of knowledge in the HIP Europe environment.
