Open innovation: ecosystems and platforms

On February 24, 2021 ConcordiaUA students listened to the lecture about open innovation. The speaker was Mr. Roberto Osorno, researcher and coordinator of the formal research program INSTITUTO TECNOLÓGICO Y DE ESTUDIOS SUPERIORES DE OCCCIDENTE (ITESO) UNIVERSITY (México). Mr. Osorno told students about economic and social problems in Mexico, the reasons of delayed development and the impact of society in this sphere. The speaker also told about entrepreneurship in Guadalajara, Mexico and his experience. He emphasized that connection and collaboration are the key resources to open and affordable innovation. It was especially amusing to hear about the analogy between nature ecosystem and ecosystem of innovation in people`s world.
