Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

For two decades, principles for organising and managing complex innovation processes have centred on openness, collaboration, and multi-stakeholder interactions. Such an open innovation approach allows handling inputs from several actors and directing them towards value-creating innovation. Open innovation and ecosystem thinking is even more pertinent in the era of green and digital transformations and other global challenges such as the energy crisis that are heavily impacting the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) and need fast policy adaptation. However, open innovation principles are still rarely applied as normal practice. Existing support structures and innovation ecosystems are not designed for this and there are few guiding policies to support creative and society-centred innovation and multi-stakeholder innovation practices. More effective policies are needed so that supportive ecosystems for complex innovation will operate according to open innovation principles. Ecosystem-centric, cross-organisational innovation must become normal not only for CCI ecosystems but for the innovation ecosystems at large.
Given these challenges, ekip - European Cultural and Creative Industries Policy Platform support the development of policies that make the use of open innovation processes into the new standard. This will ensure that supportive ecosystems develop a capacity to handle complex multi-stakeholder innovation processes needed to realise more innovative CCIs in Europe and the behavioural change they drive towards a more green, inclusive (fulfilling the 17 SDGs) and digital Europe.

Trabajo realizado desde el comienzo del proyecto hasta el final del período abarcado por el informe y los principales resultados hasta la fecha

At ekip we develop policy recommendation to support ecosystems for innovation that includes the Creatives. We work case-based to from different sectors explore how the building blocks in ecosystems can be formed to best support the CCIs. We have developed the policy Engine across Europe, with a broad set of competences, experts and practitioners to develop recommendations jointly. We have processed nine policy areas to do this and are now scaling the work with new cases during our final reporting period.
A community platform has been set up and more than 2000 people received information and invitations to our various events. With the upcoming policy areas, the community is expected to grow with new professional groups and communities.

Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

ekip has included many process elements using new technology. For example, social listening is used as a method to quickly gather intelligence and capture trends. Parts of this material have then been transformed into forecasts regarding new professional roles to expand ways of thinking regarding how CCI-driven innovation ecosystems will contribute to a resilient, green, and digital transformation. Several countries and regions are now looking into applying the ekip way of working in their policy development work directed towards open innovation and the CCIs.
