In a world of increasing complexity organisations cannot afford to rely only on their own expertise and research. They need to associate, collaborate and share. And innovation is a network-endeavour. It relies on having visibility of and access to the right mix of talent, knowledge, resources and finance.

Open innovation is about combining internal and external ideas as well as internal and external methodologies to advance the development of new models, technologies and services.

To allow this to happen, Brightest Young Minds, a youth driven non-profit organisation, has developed the Open Innovation Studio:

It is a physical environment that combines the attributes of a shared office, a classroom, a coffee shop and a gallery. It also brings together elements of a business incubator, innovation agency, dynamic public space and members club.

Open Innovation Studio’s business is to foster and support socially relevant innovation. Its core product is flexible membership in an inspirational and well resourced habitat in Cape Town where innovators can work, share, learn, and change the world. It is specifically aimed at smaller organisations and solo-flying change agents.
