I am happy to present our fourth INNO-Grips newsletter, in which we brief you on the latest EU trends and practices in innovation policy and studies.
Open innovation is a concept which not only attracts increasing attention from the academic community, but is also continuously becoming a focus of business practices. Enterprises are recognising that cooperation with each other, sharing and sourcing knowledge from outside to create synergies, is an effective engine for innovation and growth. To complement our recent study on Open Innovation, we offer in this issue an interesting example from industry on how to benefit from Open Innovation in practice.
At the same time, we are investigating two new areas of the innovation world - the role of social attitudes to innovation and entrepreneurship, and disruptive innovation. We present a new study which explores how to achieve better understanding of the social and cultural factors that enhance entrepreneurship and innovation. This is not an easy task, but it offers some exciting perspectives. Better understanding of social determinants will help us to respond more adequately to existing challenges by shaping better, more targeted and thus more effective policies.
