Open Innovation: A paradigm or just new clothes? (Annual Conference Bergen 2008)
In recent years “Open innovation” has received a lot of attention, and is claimed to be the successor to the outdated linear R&D model. Opponents of the concept state that in the end not all parties involved can equally benefit from it. So what does it really mean for us, and is it compatible with early stage results / research?

Stronger links between research and industry (Annual Conference Turku 2006)
Since innovation is non-linear, strong partnerships between research and industry can be a competitor to traditional technology transfer. We present the integrated innovation system between VTT and the Finnish company Kemppi.

Open Innovation - A sharing Model (Annual Conference Turku 2006)
As TTO professionals, we tend to get trapped in the linear model, and often forget that innovation requires tight collaboration with a business. How do they go about innovation in a globalised economy, and how does that affect our thinking and the way in which we can most effectively transfer technology.
