Call for BEST Practice : 11th Annual World Open Innovation Conference 2024

Submission Open - Deadline Extended! June 30th, 2024

WOIC 2024: Share Your Best Practice in Open Innovation

At the upcoming World Open Innovation Conference, WOIC 2024, we want to combine the best of both worlds and bring together researchers and practitioners. Therefore, we invite everyone to share a best practice from their corporate work or public policy experience. You will get the chance to receive feedback from a wide audience on how to improve and further develop the best practice from open innovation scientists or other practitioners. The best practice sessions are a great way to open up and share experiences with others to build a long-lasting community where practices, tips & tricks, and feedback are openly shared

The city’s commitment to research and its knowledge-driven ecosystem makes it a perfect breeding ground for new ideas and a center for disseminating cutting-edge practices in the joint creation of value. Join us in Bilbao and experience firsthand your contribution to global innovation.
