This year’s Open Innovation 2.0 Conference will take place on June 12 at the Dublin Convention Centre and is jointly organised by the European Commission / Open Innovation Strategy and Policy Group – OISPG, Intel Labs Europe, and Dublin City Council.
Following the success of the inaugural Open Innovation 2.0 Conference (OI2.0), held last year under the Irish Presidency of the EU, this year’s event will bring together high-level decision makers, leading innovation experts and practitioners from across the globe for a whole-day conference devoted to inspiring sessions and interaction on Open Innovation 2.0 business models and ecosystems.
OI2.0 2014 is organised around the concept of short speeches, strong interaction and further development of ideas. Leading innovation thought leaders will present their latest insights; European policy leaders will contribute to the design of the European Innovation ecosystems; and the first feedback from the new European research and innovation framework, Horizon 2020, will be presented.
The inaugural Open Innovation 2.0 Conference held last year under the Irish Presidency of the EU was an outstanding success and resulted in the adoption of The Dublin Innovation Declaration! The conference gathered together high-level decision makers, leading innovation experts and practitioners from across the globe. Together they co-created a document to pave the way for future innovation policies and actions to increase prosperity and wealth, and to create more jobs and growth in Europe. Another milestone during the two-day event was the adoption of the Open Innovation 2.0 paradigm (OI2) formulated in an integrated way and respectively published in a whitepaper. The OI2 paradigm consists of twenty building blocks, which will be thoroughly discussed at this year’s conference.
Confirmed speakers include Henry Chesbrough, Richard Straub, Ronan Stephan, Dan Marom, Jim Jagielski, Stefan Schepers, Martin Curley, and Bror Salmelin.
