Open innovation & university: Competitiveness & development - Universitat Politècnica de València

Open innovation describes a new paradigm being adapted to the global economy of the knowledge society, which signals the wide variety of internal and external sources that generate the knowledge inputs necessary in an innovation process. Innovation is no longer an endogenous process within R&D departments, it is more open, promoting relations, and profiting from new internal and external contributions, while also generating outputs in global markets with more open business models. Mobility and the diffusion of knowledge through the Internet, higher levels of education, the transfer of human capital through enterprises, ease of undertaking and the best exchange between enterprises and suppliers are some of the factors that explain the emergence of open innovation. And, here, universities also play a determining role.

Therefore, now is the best moment to bring together key agents of the innovation process, academics and entrepreneurs, innovation process managers, and innovation innovators in the same location for two days.
