We cordially invite you to a round table discussion with members of the Innovation Cluster about the challenges surrounding the development of new products. The talks will take place on November 4 and 5 from 3 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Martiniplaza Groningen during the Promotion Days Northern Netherlands.
Developing products is complex. The cluster of 11 innovative High Tech companies, Innovatiecluster Drachten, knows that. They would like to share their knowledge with others, but also learn from others. From the Innovatiecluster Drachten, they want to give you the unique opportunity to exchange views with ICD members in a private roundtable discussion. The theme on Nov. 4 is “Is innovation managing chance?” Innovation is managing chance. Real innovations, can you force them? Or can you enforce the conditions within which innovation has a much better chance? Well-known examples such as 3M yellows and Viagra support the contention that real innovations occur by chance. Or not....
On Nov. 5, the theme is “Open innovation is always half open and half closed.” Open innovation is an oft-used term. True open innovation is often about open source innovation. A good example is the Bluetooth technology developed in Emmen. Much more often there are consortia within which, based on complementary competencies, cooperation takes place. So within the consortium open, outside closed. You will discuss this with a select group of interested people and your discussion leader will be a participant of the Innovation Cluster.
