Summary
OECD governments are faced with new challenges as globalisation and open innovation increasingly impact on the way innovation takes place, on the linkages within innovation systems at national and global level and on the ability to reap benefits from investments in R&D and innovation whether at regional, national or global level. At the same time the open innovation paradigm and the development of global innovation networks can potentially enhance the returns to both private and public R&D investment.
Using a case study approach and empirical analysis, the OECD project on Globalisation and Open Innovation reviewed the trends and drivers behind open innovation and shed light on some of the policy implications for governments, higher education and public research and the business environment.
This symposium in Paris will examine the phenomenon of global open innovation from the perspective of France and Europe.
The workshop will assess the international variations in open innovation practices. Such variations are important to take into account in order to understand the diffusion of open innovation practices and the policies to promote in order to fulfil the promises of the open innovation paradigm.
Target Audience
Anyone interested in the functioning and facilitation of innovation networks, including the handling of intellectual property.
