About the Project

The ZOOOM project aims at raising awareness of the importance of IP generation and management for strategies in Open Collaborative and Open Innovation ecosystems within the key assets of data, software and hardware. By involving different actors from knowledge creators (startups, researchers, SMEs) and supporting organisations (TTOs, Digital Innovation Hubs, Innovation Agencies, PATLIBs), ZOOOM wishes to first define a framework to address open innovation from a legal and a business aspect, defining case studies, success stories and cases where open innovation has been applied within a diverse range of technologies (from blockchain to AI, to robotics).

To foster Open Innovation across the knowledge creation ecosystem and its supporting entities, the SD Lab will develop a toolkit incorporating diverse platforms and tools for license and intellectual property management. The consortium will ultimately disseminate the toolkit, as well as the legal and business framework in order to promote awareness of the significance of Open Innovation within European public and private organizations.
