Open Innovation and High Growth Entrepreneurship - What’s hot and what’s not?

Monday 22 March 2010

The University of Surrey in association with SEEDA and South East Business Innovation & Growth is pleased to announce an inspirational keynote by Kenneth P Morse, a world-renowned high performance leader and specialist in Open Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship.

Open Innovation is both a mindset and a process needed to create a meeting ground for corporates, universities and start-ups where resources, knowledge but especially new business options can jointly be developed.

Entrepreneurs and all businesses looking for high growth need to understand the Open Innovation global landscape and how to use it to their advantage.

Ken has been a leader in global high tech sales and sales management for over 35 years, was founding managing director of the MIT Entrepreneurship Center, and since 2006 has taught Corporate Entrepreneurship and Open Innovation in partnership with Professor Henry Chesbrough, Executive Director of the Center for Open Innovation at the Haas School of Business – University of California, Berkeley.
