Imagine a group planning a community garden: neighbors, local businesses, and city staff all have ideas and responsibilities. It is hard to coordinate them when no one knows what problems or costs will come up. In this paper, those groups stand for research, business, and policy, and the uncertainty is one challenge the article discusses.
Companies and policymakers both shape how new ideas are developed and used. This article surveys how open innovation connects their work, including how digital change and uncertainty create challenges and how EU funding programs may help.
