What is open innovation?

Join our CIO Peter Holme Jensen and Science City Lyngby CEO Marianna Lubanski for a talk about the trending concept of open innovation, how Aquaporin uses open innovation as a foundation for development, and why it’s important to keep on innovating. 

Marianna Lubanski explains how to succeed in developing an innovation district, and why public-private partnerships are so important. 

Peter Holme Jensen describes how open innovation has been a cornerstone of Aquaporin from the very beginning and a way to integrate circular thinking through the initiatives Aquaporin Academy, Aquaporin Garage, and Primer.
