Open innovation is a new paradigm in which company boundaries are crossed, and collaboration and external inputs are key. In this approach, companies use both internal and external knowledge to fuel innovation, and both internal and external paths to commercialise new products and business models. Within this context, Open Innovators wants to bring new insights and best practices on open innovation, crowdsourcing, and co-creation - for business leaders as well as entrepreneurs.

- Innocentive - open innovation problem solving
