Working with Bill Devincenzi, Professor San Jose State University (SJSU), and Stephen Kwan, Professor and Vice Dean, SJSU, and IBM, a team of three Gary J. Sbona Honors Program students ( Simona Popescu, Catherine Fang, Jung Ho Shin) went through a 10-week ISSIP Open Innovation Coaching (OIC) Project.
The project: Team of students design and apply an ISSIP-industry-university open innovation template for “Regions 2.0”.
Regions 2.0 are defined as Smart Service Systems in which different stakeholders, industry, universities, students, and policy makers work together with a vision to create and maintain an upward spiral of capabilities in regions around the world that improves quality of life for all in a sustainable fashion. Smarter Cities is a good example of Regions 2.0.
