CoR: EU Needs Radical TransformationMindset & Pioneers & Scalability

There is a huge gap between the latest research knowledge and real lifepractice. What do we need to do to fill it?1. Europe needs pioneering regions to be forerunners in implmenting the

EU2020 and through that to invent the desired future.2. Lifelong learning and the full use of ICT are cornerstones for this

change of mindset towards entrepreneurship and innovation.3. We need the dynamic understanding of regional innovation

ecosystems where public, private and third sector learn to operatetogether. Modernize Triple Helix.

4. We need methodologies to mobilize public private partnerships andencourage especially people participations: user-driven openinnovation & living labs.

5. We need to speed up the change by scalability & implementation.Markku MarkkulaCoR opinions 2011-2014

Blueprint as the Product of a Tripartite EU High Level Expert Group:

Inspiring and CompletingEuropean Innovation Ecosystems

• “The basis for open innovation is Quadruple Helix where Government,Academia, Industry and Citizens collaborate to drive structural changesfar beyond the scope any one organization could achieve on its own.”

• “At the moment, EU governance is excessively focused on regulationand not enough on mentoring, collaboration, stewardship and peerreview.”

• ”Between the traditional Community Method and the Open Methodof Coordination, it requires new instruments for innovativeCollaborative Governance.”

• ”Setting coherent and compelling criteria for making the EU InnovationEcosystems flourish.”

• ”Public procurement needs urgent and full application of the newrules in order to make use of its inherent innovative potential.”

Regions and Cities Are the Key Actors:Build More on the Process Nature of Transformation

All-permeating development activities should be targeted in the followingcritical success factors of the transformation process:

• Network centric working culture focusing especially on desiredattitude and mindset change.

• Targeted orchestration of major transformation operations.• Creating new collaborative value creation methods, processes

and models.• Planning and implementing the activities to co-create regional

innovation ecosystem architecture based on virtual reality.• Making strategic choices to start potential breakthrough mega-

level initiatives focusing on joint-research topics and by thehelp of them on societal innovations to create new solutions.

• Sustainable development a cornerstone for all.Markku MarkkulaCoR & Aalto University

The Six City Strategy:Open Innovation Platforms, Open Data and Interfaces,

and Open Participation• An open innovation platform consists of infrastructure, physical and

virtual elements, productized processes and community members thatform a strong value added environment.

• Offer a structured platform for digitalization of municipality services,involve the companies and community members in creating newinnovative ways to implement services and thus utilize all available localresources.

• The role of the city will evolve from service provider to service creationenabler.

• Utilizing concept models and processes is in the core of development. Thiswill in turn enable the scalability and multiplication of the benefitscompared to independent platforms.
