Mission & Goals
The Industry Commons Foundation is a not-for-profit foundation established to further and promote the advancement of interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, acquisition of skills, state of the art innovation methodologies and new knowledge creation. It is active participant in EU-funded research and innovation projects, and regularly contributes to the advancement of the EU research and innovation agenda with reports and studies. The leadership builds on extensive experience of authoring Open Innovation methodologies, feeding policy directly form testbeds and prototyping of innovative solutions, research and innovation for large global corporations, and designing knowledge exchange mechanisms for innovator communities of interdisciplinary experts. The foundation actively contributes to design and implementation of supporting structures for transversal collaboration and innovation processes to enable value creation within the broader Industry Commons Ecosystem.
