  1. Global University Venturing Summit Open innovation, Corporations and Universities – are we speaking the same language ?

  2. Everybody speaks about innovation… • …the process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that creates value for which customers will pay. • Innovations are divided into two broad categories: • Evolutionary innovations that are brought about by many incremental advances in technology or processes • Revolutionary innovations also called discontinuous innovations which are often disruptive and new Source: www.businessdictionary.com
