HTB forum: Open innovation
The HTB forums are live online events designed for business decision makers. They are concise one-hour live case-study based sessions with optional one-hour meet-the-speakers’ sessions. The practical key messages are derived from a panel of selected experts, who add different strategic perspectives. This forum focuses on Open innovation as increasing technology convergence and speed to market drive the need for a wider range of accessible technologies and IP. To remain competitive, technology-driven businesses must move from a closed to an open approach to innovation if they are to maximise the value of high-growth technologies.
Open innovation is a strategic IP management approach that enabled businesses to have a sophisticated understanding of their future innovation needs, based on an integrated approach that combines business, technology and IP strategy.
