Open Innovation 
90 Product Concepts for the Industry

Two anniversaries, one shared goal: innovation through collaboration.

For ten years, the “Enforcing Innovation across Maker, Industry & Research” initiative has been bringing together companies, students and researchers within a vibrant open innovation ecosystem. Together with 27 industry partners, it has generated new input for innovation and the sustainable strengthening of Austria as an industrial hub.
In addition, the “Product Innovation” course is celebrating its twentieth anniversary. Since 2006, 639 students from 53 countries and 81 degree programmes have developed a total of 90 product concepts for 36 partners.

This booklet provides insights into our open innovation ecosystem and the diversity of the resulting product concepts.
