Conférence / séminaire
Hosted by the European Investment Bank and co-organised with AMCHAM, Prof. Marko Torkkeli (LUT) proudly invites you to the Open Innovation Seminar featuring the keynote speaker Henry Chesbrough, the "Godfather of Open Innovation". Chesbrough's keynote speech will deal with “Open Innovation: Insight and foresight”.
His talk will address how to effectively make use of unused ideas, the fundamentals of a successful open innovation strategy, and the future of open innovation. The event will also be an opportunity for the audience to ask direct questions from the open innovation guru.
The event is co-organized by Lappeenranta University of Technology where Chesbrough is nominated as Visiting Honorary Professor.
