We're Building an Innovation Zone in University Circle!

Join us for Tuesdays@FUTURE - forums to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship at the very heart of the Innovation Economy: in the Creative Industries.

I-Open and partner anchoring organizations will collaborate to highlight the latest innovations in the creative industries in Northeast Ohio. We'll talk about global models and how other regions are strengthening existing and new economic development initiatives. Together, we will identify resources and capabilities and design transformative intiatives together to build the Innovation Economy in Northeast Ohio.

I-Open Innovation Zones are networked hubs of Open Source Economic Development activity. Open Source Economic Development practices help us to adjust our rate of activity to the volume and speed of innovation in new and different ways. The I-Open Strategic Process teaches people how to identify local innovation, envision transformative initiatives together and begin to work toward next steps.

I-Open Principles and Practices
We have a simple vision: We will leave to future generations a regional economy that is creative, innovative and sustainable with opportunities for any individual prepared to grasp them.
We are pursuing a simple strategy: Brainpower matters. Our region will be transformed by open networks of innovation and collaboration with colleges, universities, libraries and schools as nodes in these networks.
We have a simple credo: We will prosper by treating each other in ways that build respect and trust.
We have a simple purpose: I-Open will help facilitate the transformation already underway in our region. We will teach and share the best ideas we can find to build open innovation networks in our region.
