Nowadays, 78% of companies claim to perform some type of open innovation, achieving better results than those that continue with a closed innovation approach. Some of the benefits that have been evidenced are better financial results, mitigation of risks and costs or decreased time to market.

Aquest dimecres 2 de març ha arrencat el cicle de converses SOCIETAT PANTALLA, comissariat i moderat per Manel González-Piñero, director d'innovació del CREB UPC.

Però és l’ésser humà qui crea aquestes eines, que alhora transformen com percebem, pensem i actuem.
