Bringing Power to the People of Ukraine: Energy Innovation Under The Most Challenging Circumstances

🔊 Working with external partners to solve challenges and drive innovation - AKA the Open Innovation Approach - is gaining popularity (nay necessity) in historically 'closed' corporate environments. By exchanging knowledge and ideas, companies can accelerate innovation and bring new solutions to market faster, while rapidly achieving sustainability and environmental goals - leading to new business models and in many cases, increased profitability.

Join Adam Olsen and Emanuele Volpe as they delve into the world of open innovation in a corporate environment, and how the war in Ukraine has accelerated innovation via advancing technologies, such as decentralized power generation.

Open innovation is a collaborative approach to innovation that involves sharing knowledge, ideas, and resources between individuals or organizations.

The corporate world can learn how to balance internal procedures, processes, and governance that must be followed while still allowing for the possibility to launch new projects and receive outside inputs to solve challenges. It must. Or go the way of the dinosaur.
