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.
