Masterclass

Building Ecosystems in practice

Remembering my triumph at last year's WOIC where I received the prestigious "Best Open Innovation Practice" award, I’ve decided to give back to this vibrant community that has been such a source of inspiration and growth.

Together with Wim Vanhaverbeke I'm creating a value-packed Masterclass taking place the very next day after the conference. This Masterclass will have  an exclusive focus on sharing the award-winning open innovation practices and insights that marked my journey towards receiving this distinctive recognition.

The best part? To honor my award and express gratitude, I've decided to offer this Masterclass at a significantly accessible price point.

Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to share one of my biggest projects with the world at the World Open Innovation Conference.  I focused on the creation of Medvia—an innovation ecosystem for health tech which brought together over 100 organizations from diverse fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, digital electronics, medical devices, and, of course, universities, hospitals, and healthcare organizations.

Last year's paper & presentation could not go into all details, hence I've created a full day masterclass to share even more insights.

“I have seen many companies struggling with open innovation in the last two decades.  Mastering open innovation is not trivial and requires a clear understanding of the objectives and tools to  be successful.“

“My approach to building ecosystems succeeded where previous attempts failed. Creating Medvia was intense yet fun to do, winning the award was the proverbial cherry on the cake.

I'm looking forward to share my approach in more detail during the masterclass so more people acquire these skills.“
