OPEN INNOVATION CITY – OPEN INNOVATION AT CITY LEVEL
Innovations are not only generated in individual companies or departments, because good ideas exist everywhere in society. That's why an Open Innovation City involves the entire urban society: politics and administration, education and research, business and associations, as well as citizens and civil society as a whole; in other words, all major sectors of urban society can participate in shaping the city. Open Innovation City creates new framework conditions and networks for this - within the city, but also with strong sources of innovation outside the city limits. An Open Innovation City is a city that drives progress, answers future-relevant questions with the involvement of the urban society, builds strategic access to external innovation potentials and lives an open innovation culture.
