AstraZeneca cutting 2,200 R&D jobs,

slashing neuroscience in restructuring

"We've made an active choice to stay in

neuroscience though we will work very differently

to share cost, risk and reward with partners in

this especially challenging but important field of

medical research,".

"The creation of a virtual neuroscience iMed will

make us more agile scientifically and financially -

we will be able to collaborate flexibly with the

best scientific expertise, wherever it exists in

the world.“

Production of Goods and Services Value creation which delights customers

Effective Innovation requires collaboration and

co-creation between customers and suppliers!

We need to strengthen innovation driven

collaboration across disciplines, sectors

and organizational boundaries

We need to stimulate demand and use of innovations. It is essential for national growth!

Focus on innovation procurement!

The ability to import and apply externally developed knowledge and technology is key to innovation driven growth!

We need to balance the production of

knowledge and technology with the

import of it!

Slide 39

What has Open Innovation

to do with all this?!

Slide 40

Open Innovation is about value

creation and value capturing

using collaboration and co-

creation with external partners

Open Innovation – a strategic

view

The use of

external talent, ideas, assets, inventions and innovations in renewing your and your partner’s businesses

internal assets in business collaborations with external partners which diversifies your business to new markets and new fields of value creation

• Est 1983

• 300 companies

• Regional network node

Focus areas:

• ICT

• Life Science

• Cleantech

Challenges to network - case Inwido

Inwido – producer of doors and windows adressed challenges

Ideas for commersialization – case Virtual autopsy table

Virtual autopsy table combining ideas from front edge

research with ideas from clinical experience. Commersialized

by the company Sectra.

Process innovation: Virtual prototyping, Siemens Turbo Machinery

Co-creation: case Siemens

Some last guidelines…

Open Innovation is about openness - internally first

Open Innovation is about mutual trust and win-win

solutions

Open innovation is about sharing visions – like any

innovation process, start with the end

Open innovation is about co-creation – use

intermediaries if necessary to manage and facilitate

networking

Avoid legal, confidentiality and IP issues during ”court

time” – all events and initial contacts in the early

stages should take place in the ”public domain”
