Network-based innovation brokering
Three phases: 1. Pre workshop – Invitation, organizing, funding 2. Dialogical workshop (6 hours) – with representatives of SME’s and researchers to ”brainstorm” and initiate innovation projects 3. Post workshop – Funding decisions – Groups effect innovation projects – Reporting
SLIDE 16
Conclusions
- Network-based innovation brokering strengthens the
connections and trust between the members of a SMB network and the relevant community of (mostly regional) researchers
- It acts as an arena for learning in which both implicit and
explicit knowledge is created and shared
- It develops and enhances the general innovation capacity
- f the regional innovation system
- Involves a stronger and more developed role for regional
R&D institutions
