Factors against closed innovation models
• Mobility and availability of highly educated people is increasing• Knowledge flows between organizations and companies (talented
and experienced people changing jobs)• More and more support schemes to develop ideas and
technologies outside the organizations or closed circuits (venture capital, spin-offs, licensing, etc)
The new model of open innovation
• Organizations can no longer rely entirely on their own research and should instead profit from third parties IP
• Internal knowledge should be taken outside the organizations so they can profit from third parties use of innovating processes
Innovation: from closed to open models

• Triple Helix described as model for understanding and guiding interactions in university-industry-government relations.
• Each actor had currently its own tasks: universities produced research, industries manufactured and governments secured a stability framework for interaction and exchange.
• Triple Helix approach has evolved from more conservative co-operation models (often discouraging novel innovations) to integrated models supporting would-be innovators.
• Open innovation and Triple Helix integrated models should perfectly interact to support innovation, creativity and experimentation.

to turn his/her selected idea into a new TBC
• Cooperation framework with the private investor (shares, licensing, organizational chart, management responsibilities, legal status, IPR, etc)
• Full assistance for drafting a sound Business Plan
• Seed capital and project finance
• A specific cooperation agreement for every initiative or project
• Additional public and private funding if and when required (risk capital)

1. Fully integrated models of cooperation (university-industry-government) are needed to enhance the regional innovation system
2. There is to improve the regional economy by bringing together knowledge and research with entities that can bring those ideas to market
3. Scientist and technological knowledge must be combined with business experience and management skills
4. Setting up ad hoc structures and frameworks for public-private partnerships have proved successful to secure the feasibility of TBCs
5. Adequate infrastructures are likewise required to promote and facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technology in open innovation environments
