NOKIA leads open innovation with the Open Ecosystem Network platform

Dec. 4, 2017 - PRLog -- One of the latest challenges is the Create. Build. Code hackathon organized by Barclays and BBC, taking place via live-stream and on-site in MediaCityUK Manchester, 8^th December.

In Open Ecosystem Network, anyone can shape the technology of the future

Often the best ideas don't emerge from a single person – they're the result of collaboration.

- We are among the first corporations who stopped talking about the need to open up and enter into the extended ecosystem play, and started doing it. We are leading the corporate ecosystems revolution, says Goran Cangl, Head of Ecosystem Advocacy of Innovation Partner & Venture Management, NOKIA.

Created by NOKIA, Open Ecosystem Network is an open, cloud-based co-creation environment built on the principle of data democracy and connecting people from multiple industries without borders.

- OPEN is open for everybody, where real corporations and their ecosystems share their data and collaborate beyond corporate borders, Goran Cangl says.

NOKIA and its partners challenge tech savvies and innovators to respond to the future challenges in the domains such as AI, analytics, AR/VR, blockchain, DevOps, Digital Health, and Space. Projects and challenges are hosted on education, smart cities, safety, healthcare, connected industries, and smart, safe and sustainable world.
