- Intellectual capital is becoming increasingly important due to growing problems, complexity, and changing paradigms.
- Destinations can enhance their competitiveness by highlighting their local expertise and intellectual capital to attract congress delegates.
- Coffee houses have historically served as incubators for new ideas and intellectual exchanges in cities like Vienna and London.
- Universities, think tanks, and knowledge regions play an important role in developing a knowledge economy and intellectual capital.
- The New Club of Paris works to set the agenda for knowledge societies and conducted roundtable discussions in countries like Austria
The document discusses plans for developing Amsterdam's startup ecosystem. It identifies key problems such as the lack of scale-ups and attracting international investment. Objectives are outlined to improve Amsterdam's position, attract more funding, stimulate collaboration, ensure pride in the ecosystem, and increase the number of international start-ups and rapidly growing companies. Ambition statements are brainstormed, with the goal of making Amsterdam a top 3 tech hub in Europe. Five pillars are identified as the foundation: talent, customers, events, capital, and ecosystem. Initiatives are discussed such as networking programs, an events calendar, and capital week. The working approach emphasizes a startup mindset of experimenting and validating initiatives as businesses.
This document discusses the potential for tech startups and entrepreneurship in Moldova. It notes that the costs of starting a business are decreasing globally due to factors like the internet. It then provides examples of positive impacts from tech startups in various countries, such as job creation and tax revenue. The current situation in Moldova is described as having potential but room for improvement. The document proposes a "Startup Moldova" initiative to help develop the local tech startup ecosystem through actions by government, community, and the private sector. It outlines short and long term goals around increasing the number of startups and driving economic growth.
The document discusses a new approach to enterprise innovation proposed in the BIVEE project. It involved 10 partners over 3 years to develop an enterprise innovation platform. The platform spans theoretical, methodological, and technological aspects. It was tested in robotics/automation and wood/furniture industries. The book outlines competencies, guidelines, and instructions for implementing this new approach to enterprise innovation focusing on SME networks. Traditional knowledge management is not suited for innovation purposes, but ontologies, semantic wikis, social media, and cooperation tools show promise when combined with human creativity and intelligence.
This document discusses how entrepreneurs can attract investors. It provides tips on understanding different types of investors and their goals, being investment ready through preparation and presentation, networking to make connections, and addressing issues like valuation.

The document emphasizes the importance of networking and connecting with investors through various channels and events. It also highlights the venture capital scene in Cambridge and resources available to help entrepreneurs, such as the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning programs that provide skills and make introductions to investors.
Report - Designing a People Centred Future - Sept 2012Anni Leppänen
The document summarizes a workshop report on the "Designing a People Centred Future" conference held in Helsinki, Finland on September 11-12, 2012. The two-day event explored latest developments in user-centered design and generated a vision for future products and services developed with digital technologies and users at the heart of the design process. It showcased examples of user-centered design, looked at future trends, and aimed to create opportunities for R&D collaboration between international participants from various sectors including business, research, and academia. On the second day, workshop groups discussed questions around implementing user-centered design approaches, emerging tools, and determining value, with the goal of allocating a hypothetical £10 million research investment.
This document discusses open innovation in organizations. It argues that innovation requires tight integration between digital actors, human actors, and multiple disciplines. Open innovation follows a quadruple helix model involving collaboration between business, government, academia, and the public. An open innovation ecosystem facilitates knowledge exchange between humans and computers. New management styles are needed to coordinate knowledge across industries and overcome obstacles through motivation and new performance metrics. Education must support innovation through new learning methods to develop skills like divergent thinking, design thinking, and visual thinking. Games and gamification can also drive innovation by engaging people emotionally.

Intellectual Capital: Theory and Practice, and
its impact on destination competitiveness
###
Günter Koch, Prof. DI
President of the Humboldt Cosmos Multiversity, Tenerife, Spain,
and Co-Founder of the New Club of Paris
www.execupery.com
3. 3#ICCAWorld | iccaworld.com
Why Intellectual Capital
became so important:
- Number of problems („Grand
Challenges“) is growing
- Problems are „bigger“ than
in former times (e.g. finances)
- Complexity is increasing
without that we have
methods /tools to master it
- Underlying paradigms are
changing fast
Relevance of IC in radical change agendas
6. 6#ICCAWorld | iccaworld.com
Exasperating me in a 1st instance:
Elling Hamso’s reaction on my draft presentation
“…I think of destinations having something more to offer to congresses than
just tourist attractions and nice venues. The recent 'Germany Expertise' report
from GCB is an example of this. It works both ways, congress delegates may
gain from meeting local expertise, see facilities, learn how they have become
successful, etc. and the local expertise is enhanced by meeting delegate
experts in the field…”
Experience with Tallinn, some years ago: “…I suggested they branded
themselves as 'The Connected Destination' instead and target the IT sector,
but my idea fell on stony ground…”
8. 8#ICCAWorld | iccaworld.com
Ideas seem to coincide: Austria’s Ex Vice-Chancellor
asks for more sex appeal in Intellectual Capital projects
Elling Hamso interviewing Martin Sirk
on the session on “The sex-appeal of the
brain”: how ICCA sees the shift in how
destinations change their marketing
towards a more intellectual way. Paving
the way for meeting architectures?
“…Martin Sirk has an excellent metaphor
called 'empty box marketing' and the
intellectual capital of destinations is used
to fill the box with unique value for the
customer…”
Erhard Busek (left), former Vice Chancellor of Austria,
at an Intellectual Capital Event in Salzburg requires
that we need „dancing stars“ in Intellectual Capital
