Forum 29 Thursday 27.10.2011 16:00-17:00 DebateSpace #1 Closing Session of the Forum Forum Session Internet technologies make it easier for big companies to collaborate with small companies and talented developers. Open innovation frameworks combine the speed and innovation of the Web with the trusted capabilities of service providers to offer new services. The smartest companies could be those that invest in challenges that recognise and financially reward the most innovative developers who can leverage the companies’ Application Programming Interfaces in the most innovative ways. These challenges create platforms where networks of developers can exchange and learn from each other, and venture start-ups can discover and develop new talent. What are the most effective models for open innovation and what lessons can be learned from experiences to date? Thursday 27.10.2011 14:00-15:30 DebateSpace #2 Driving Innovation Forum Session
