Dr. Carla Riverola and Zelu Zhang from the Innova Institute, attended and participated in this event. During the breakfast session they gave a talk on “Open Innovation Strategies”, and in the afternoon they conducted two training sessions entitled “OI barriers and feedback on OI platforms” and “OI skills for managers”.
