Open innovation is a paradigm that assumes that companies can benefit from external ideas\/technologies (Outside-In) and valorise internal ideas\/technologies with external partners (Inside-Out) to reduce the financial risks associated to innovation, and quickly get a competitive advantage. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Open Innovation implies accelerating internal R&D and innovation along value chains through collaboration between the technological supply – and demand – side\u00a0within networked, multi-collaborative ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Open innovation today is a well-known concept in large companies. However, SMEs are less aware of the opportunities offered by open innovation. Innovation intermediaries such as technology centres can help SME solution providers get closer to large industrial users to co-create\u00a0new products\/services through a better anticipation of their needs.<\/p>\n

One major role of technology centres is “to bridge the gap between internal and external know-how”.\u00a0They are thus well-positioned as innovation intermediaries in an open innovation context. Technology centres help companies move technologies (such as digital and other key enabling technologies) from lab to market. They often achieve innovation by adapting existing ideas and concepts to other industrial ambits and usually collaborate with both large companies and SMEs.<\/p>\n
