Open to Innovate
The open manifesto of ethical and sustainable innovation ecosystems.
In liquid modernity, “change is the only constant, and uncertainty is the only certainty” (Baumann). Organizations must rely on open, flexible, and effective innovation models that keep them in constant contact with political, market, and research actors.
The network becomes the most effective means of evolution, the source of cross-pollination. Complexity becomes the engine of discovery. The territory becomes the cradle of ideas. The well-being of people and respect for the future become the purpose of innovation.
We started with the values of the Innovate Clust-ER Community and represented them in an open manifesto, aiming to voice a territory rich in opportunities and prospects, the Emilia-Romagna Region, and all those who embrace this approach.
Shared culture and values are needed to ensure widespread and sustainable innovation from an ethical, economic, and environmental perspective.
If you share this perspective, endorse the Open to Innovate manifesto and help us spread the word.
Here are the points of the manifesto developed by the members of Clust-ER Innovate:
"The changing times urge us to rethink things. To reflect on our choices. And on the planet we will leave to future generations. Uncertain contexts drive us to write a new humanism. Made of openness, curiosity, a desire to learn and experiment together. Thanks to networks of people, collaborations, and ongoing research. Listening to diverse ideas allows us to transcend the boundaries of the 'small garden.' And to discover a territory rich in skills, experiences, and innovation. Together, we want to cultivate that inventiveness that characterizes our region. To address larger challenges. With an openness to the community and the world around us."
