Innovation and technology transfer are especially hot topics in today’s rapidly changing world, all the more so as innovation is regarded as one of the major levers for overcoming the global financial and economic crisis. New paradigms of innovation appear which reflect the challenges of bringing together and exploiting globally distributed knowledge for new technology, products and services. Over the past decade we have experienced “Open Innovation” (aka Innovation 2.0) following on from the conventional closed innovation model (aka Innovation 1.0). We became familiar with user integration, open technology transfer models and impressive case studies coming mainly from large industry. “Innovation 3.0” raises the vital question: is there a third way, especially for SMEs, to master the challenges of balancing closed and open innovation? What are the needs and skills which are relevant to innovation players, on a corporate, intermediary and policy level?
