IOIT will promote a cultural and operational shift from a “closed” innovation model to an “open” and “connected” model. In doing so identify and encourage the crucial role that transnational collaboration and partnering now needs to play to maximise European level synergies and development potential within the knowledge economy. Detailed aims:• Design and deliver open-innovation activities to knowledge sector companies, by a process-oriented approach focusing on “external”, European level sources of knowledge and opportunity. • Determine, using practical interventions, what activities are necessary to enable SMEs and intermediaries to drive commercialisation using open innovation. • Design / deliver open innovation support to unlock inertia in Universities, translating business requirements into actions applicable to research commercialisation. • Improve the quality and intensity of linkages / platforms between NWE’s intermediary organisations, Universities and SMEs
